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.
A few STDs/STIs, including syphilis, HIV, and CMV, can infect a fetus before birth during the pregnancy. It is important for a pregnant woman to be tested for STDs/STIs, including HIV/AIDS and syphilis, as a part of her prenatal care. STD/STI testing as a part of prenatal care can determine if an expectant mother or her sexual partner has an infection that can be cured with drug treatment.
