Or do you have to have special tests done for some STD's?

The only one would be HPV if you had warts or had abnormal cells...certain ones are obvious because of discharge but you should get an STD test just to be sure

During your routine pap, they have to draw blood and take cultures from your cervix/vagina to test for STDs. You get the results in about a week or two.

Your pap results may show that there are some abnormal cells, but it want tell if it is bc of an STD or not.

some can, some cannot. if someone has active herpes, the dr will see them on the vagin during a pap. also, HPV can be detected.

some yes, but not most. That's why they have special STD tests.
Paps are to detect adnormal cells (aka cancer)

No, they are looking for irregular cervical cells. You have seperate tests for STDs

I don't believe syphilis would show up on a pap.
