Looking at "it" is part of the examination. This is helpful in diagnosing crabs and scabies. It can also be used to diagnose HPV and herpes in people who show symptoms. However, most people don't show symptoms.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia are detected using either a urine test or a urethra/vaginal swab. If you are symptomatic, the doctor can milk the discharge out of the penis, but most people don't show symptoms!
Syphilis is detected with a blood test. HIV can be detected with a blood test or oral swab.
Herpes can be detected with the HerpeSelect blood test. This test can differentiate between HSV 1 and 2.
There is no clinically practical test available for detecting HPV in men. The only way a man would know if he has HPV is if he shows symptoms (warts).

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about six years back, while I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. I know lots of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/1R7jZ everything changed.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a packed restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

If you are a guy, the doc will stick a cotton swab in the end of your penis and then send the sample to the lab. If you are a female, the doc will also swab the inside of the vagina and send that sample to the lab. Results come back in a couple of weeks.

It depends on what STD he is testing for, If he is testing for AIDS, then its a blood test. If it's for herpes, then he looks. And if there's a possibility, then he will take a small sample of skin. Not sure of any others though.

Please see the webpages for more details on Sexually transmitted diseases. The doctor will ask for the symptoms, then physically examine the patient and will suggest to conduct certain medical tests. After getting the results, he will diagnose the sexual disease and prescribe drugs for the disease. Some persons will suffer from multiple sexual diseases. Please note that Herpes simplex virus and AIDS have no cure and it will stay till the rest of your life. Human papilloma virus cause cervical cancers in women.

a thorough physical and lab exam would be performed...in the p.e. the doctor will press the head of the penis to see if a discharge is present then send it to the lab...or he could ask you to ejaculate in a sterile cup and send this to the lab...in the lab exams your wbc count would be elevated than normal this could suggest std or a symptom of an underlying pathological condition....
