Yes and no on the urinalysis. A basic UA checks for white & red blood cells, pH, glucose, bacteria, etc. There is a urine test for chlamydia & gonorrhea but it's not included in a normal UA, it's a separate test altogether. I don't know of any STD tests that can be run on stool, the basic stool tests are for bacteria (e.coli, salmonella, campy, shigella, giardia, c. difficile, etc.) and an O&P (ova and parasites).

When I'm working urinalysis, and I'm looking at urine sediment microscopically, there are times that I find Trichomonas, a form of STD, and in rare instance, Clue Cells, the calling card of Gardnerella. albeit urine is not the best area to troll for clue cells. Otherwise, if the doctor is looking for something more specific, that need to be in the doctor's instruction.
As far as fecal tests, only time I know of is when if its a child, and the doctor suspects Sexual assault/abuse, I will innoculate some of that sample onto a Chocolate plate,or perhaps a JEMBEC system; to look for N. gonorrheae.
That is the only execption to the rule in plating fecal samples where the use of that media is acceptable.

this would have to be stated on the urine sample that it was to be tested for an std coz this wouldnt be a standard thing to test for in a routine urinalysis.
