The is no way to identify whether or not a woman has a STD other then them being tested.
Some STDs have symtoms for example abnormal discharge, unpleasent odour or even visible signs such as worts. Wheres as HIV-AIDS has no symptoms whats so ever and can only be detected with a blood test.
So either you find out abit more about the woman you are sleeping with to ensure they havent a sexual transmitted infection or you use comdoms, either way there is no safe way to tell.

There's no such thing as an 'ordinary' blood test - whenever a doctor takes blood, they fill out a form that tells the lab what to look for. You can get what's called an 'STD panel', which will look for everything but HIV. A doctor (or clinic, like Planned Parenthood or another community clinic) has to order HIV separately because there are usually confidentiality forms to sign (the lab doesn't see your name.)

There is NO way to know if a person has any STDs just by looking at them (except for obvious signs like sores).
Most STDs have no signs or symptoms. I personally have both genital herpes and HPV. If someone took a look a me they would have NO idea I have either virus.
This is why it is so important to know your STD status, as well as your partners, and to ALWAYS use condoms. Good luck to you!

The reason why doctors have to use blood tests and pap smears to know if someone has an STD is that even a trained doctor can't just look and tell. If a doctor can't, you can't either. So always use condoms, get to know a woman first, and don't have sex with prostitutes.

In general the answer is NO, there is no way of telling, especially if she has HIV. There maybe some visual signs of STD including open sores or warts around the vagina and lesions on the forehead for AIDS, but Its always safest to practise safe sex, use condoms and dental dams.
Not sure why you give me the thumbs down, do you say you've got Hepatitis in another question? If so, the girl should be just as worried about you.....

well if you really must have sex with her obviously wear a condom NO MATTER WHAT even if she says she is a virgin Who cares! wear one .... anyways but like i was saying if you are planning on having sex you might want to have a visual examination of her privates, i mean not like in an obvious way or anything, and if you see anything WEIRD then thats probably a sign... BUT obviosly you just should ask her if she has ever been tested, but people lie sometimes and say they have and say they are clean when in reality they have never been tested and dont even know for sure if they have something or not..... Well good luck, whatever you do be smart! and remember a few minutes of pleasure are not worth a lifetime of having something unwanted like HIV, herpes, or warts..... (not saying she has any of that but you get what im saying)

Without blood tests and open communication you wont know, and neither will she about you.
As for the 'smell' it could be any number of things.... she's just finished or is about to start her period, a UTI, yeast infection or even medications that she is taking. So that alone will not tell you anything.
And remember... no glove= no love.

Please see the web page for more details on STD. Chancroid- Chancroid lesions can look like syphilis or genital herpes, so a doctor needs to analyze the discharge from the sores to get an accurate diagnosis. Chlamydia-A urine test and a swab test collecting fluid from the penis or vagina. (Swab test is obtained by briefly placing a swab in the opening of the urethra at the tip of the penis; this causes brief discomfort and a burning sensation) Crabs (Pubic lice)- Pubic lice are very small, whitish-gray parasites that look like crabs. You'll be able to see the insects or their eggs (which are pearl-colored and oval-shaped) in your hair. You may notice that the skin under your hair is red and scaly, or there may be small blue spots -- signs of lice bites. If you're unsure whether or not you have lice, see your doctor. Gonorrhea- A urine test & a swab test - collecting fluid from the penis or vagina by placing a swab in the opening of the urethra; this causes brief discomfort. * giving a sample of urine * a genital examination by a doctor or nurse * taking swabs from the cervix (entrance to the womb), urethra (tube where the urine comes out), throat or rectum * women may have an internal examination. Hepatitis-All types of hepatitis are diagnosed with a blood test. Herpes- Your doctor will examine the sores and test fluid from the blisters. HIV/AIDS-A blood test can tell you if you have HIV. Anyone who is sexually active and unsure of the sexual history or HIV status of their partner(s) should be tested every year. HPV warts-Once a woman becomes sexually active, or by age 18, she should get an annual Pap smear to detect any abnormal changes in the cervix. Pap smears are the first line of defense against the HPV family of viruses, which is typically without symptoms. If your Pap test comes back abnormal, your doctor will likely order a second one to confirm the results. A cervical DNA swab test can also be performed to identify which specific HPV virus you have (only a few types of HPV have been linked to cervical cancer and these are usually not the ones that cause genital warts). If HPV is found, a colposcopy -- a test that examines the tissues of the vagina and cervix using a magnifying lens -- is usually ordered. Scabies-A dermatologist will perform several different tests on the surface of the skin. Syphilis- Diagnosis of syphilis is done through a blood test and/or examination of secretions from chancres. Trichomoniasis-A medical provider will take a swab of fluid from a male's urethra or from a female's vagina and will examine it under a microscope to see if trichomoniasis is present. Vaginal yeast infection-Your doctor may take a sample of a cervical or vaginal discharge for laboratory analysis. Bacterial vaginosis- Your doctor may take a sample of a cervical or vaginal discharge for laboratory analysis. Yeast infection in Men-Physical examination of the red rash in the affected area.

no... you can not always tell that someone has an STD unless they are having a herpes break out or something...some STD's can go with no symptoms for months and months... including HIV/AIDS....so be smart about who you sleep with... always get tested and make sure the girls you sleep with get tested too....
