My OB/GYN ran the whole work up with both pregnancy's to see if any STD's was present. Of course I was clear, but it was nice to know.. Usually the doctor will atleast test for the main ones.. And that is usually done at the first prenatal exam.. When all the blood work is drawn..

Yes. I just had my first appointment, and they test for all the standard STD's and also an AIDS test, if you sign the consent form.

I know they check for the main ones. I am not sure about if they check for all of them.

If you are concerned about it, then you definitely need to mention it to your OB.
