Will Stds Show in a Blood Test?

Most STDs can be detected using a blood test. This test will often be combined with urine samples and swabs for a more accurate outcome. This test is important for those who have more than one sexual partner to ensure that you are not passing along harmful STDs to others.

What STDs do blood tests detect?

What procedure will a clinician follow in testing someone for STI's?
  • blood — to check for CMV (cytomegalovirus), hepatitis, herpes, HIV, or syphilis.
  • urine — to check for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

How long does it take for STD to show in blood test?

It can take 3 months for HIV to show up on a test, but it only takes a matter of days to a few weeks for STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis to show up. Practicing safer sex lowers your chances of getting or spreading STDs.
