Can they be detected with just regular blood and urine tests?

Several laboratory tests are available to diagnose gonorrhea. A doctor or nurse can obtain a sample for testing from the parts of the body likely to be infected (cervix, urethra, rectum, or throat) and send the sample to a laboratory for analysis. Gonorrhea that is present in the cervix or urethra can be diagnosed in a laboratory by testing a urine sample. A quick laboratory test for gonorrhea that can be done in some clinics or doctor's offices is a Gram stain. A Gram stain of a sample from a urethra or a cervix allows the doctor to see the gonorrhea bacterium under a microscope. This test works better for men than for women.

There are laboratory tests to diagnose chlamydia. Some can be performed on urine, other tests require that a specimen be collected from a site such as the penis or cervix.

Urine and blood cannot detect these STD's. Not even a pap smear. If you suspect you have an STD, let the doctor know and they do what they call a wet prep. They use a cue tip and collect vaginal secretions or if your a male, they painfully stick a cue tip in the penis. They send it to a lab and you get results in a couple days. If the doctor suspects with a visual or with certain symptoms you may have. They usually will start you on an antibiotic before you get the results. Hope this helps.

For females, a swab is taken from the vaginal area and sent to a lab for testing.
For males, a swab of the penis or a urine test.
They ususally don't do a blood test for chlamydia or gonorrhea.

No, A Pap test only collects cells from the cervix. A doctor can collect other samples at the time of your Pap test for other STD screening. ACOG recommends Pap testing at age 21. A Pap only collects cells of the cervix once abnormal cell are seen an HPV test may immediately follow this is a test for the cervix only. Most abnormal cell changes of the cervix are due to HPV. The HPV test is approved for screening the cervix only. There is no screening for the entire area of the genitals for HPV. Genital warts are usually diagnosed by seeing a wart in the genital area. HPV is not included in STD screening.
