Depend on whatever your doctor ask. Could be both of them at the same time, could be at separate time.
Doctors or other health care workers usually use three laboratory techniques to diagnose gonorrhea: staining samples directly for the bacterium, detection of bacterial genes or DNA in urine, and growing the bacteria in laboratory cultures. Many doctors prefer to use more than one test to increase the chance of an accurate diagnosis.
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for chlamydia may be performed on swab specimens collected from the cervix (women) or urethra (men), on self-collected vaginal swabs, or on voided urine.

If you are a woman you will receive a pelvic exam which test for Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich, bacterial vaginosis, and yeast.

Chlamydia can lead to serious medical problems if it is not treated. With treatment, chlamydia is usually gone in two weeks.
A sample of your discharge will be taken for tests. You may need antibiotic medicine to treat the infection. Tell your sex partner to get checked and treated. If your partner is not treated and you have sex, you may get the infection again. Do not have sex until you and your partner have finished being treated with the medicine. Tell your caregiver if you are pregnant.

WHEN TESTED FOR STDS THEY USELY CHECK FOR ALL I WOULD THINK! iF YOU TELL THEM YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE AND IF YOU TELL THEM YOU THINK YOU NEED TO BE TESTED FOR ALL STDS! OR IF THEY THINK YOU ARE AT RISK THEN THEY TEST FOR EVERYTHING, SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU TOLD THE DOCTOR!!
