To summarize, the only blood tests commonly done for STDs test for syphilis, HIV and hepatitis B. A blood test for herpes exists but is seldom done. A good urethral test for gonorrhea and chlamydia exists, but is seldom done in men unless specifically requested.
In the US, the Food and Drug Administration requires that all donated blood be screened for several infectious diseases, including HIV-1 and HIV-2, using a combination of antibody testing (EIA) and more expeditious nucleic acid testing (NAT). These diagnostic tests are combined with careful donor selection.
