No. You cannot tell if you have gonorrhoea or chlamydia from blood tests. You need to have swabs of the affected area, usually the cervix in women. Sometimes they can be diagnosed on a special type of urine test, but not the usual kind which looks for bladder or kidney disease.
An HIV test is for HIV only. Some other diseases such as syphilis and hepatitis B can be detected on blood tests, but the doctor needs to order specific tests for each infection.

No! It only shows if you are positive for HIV.
If you had gonorrhea you would probably know something was up. It has a really bad discharge smell!
Go to the doctor or clinic! If you think you have something, get it checked out.
Because if you do, and it goes untreated you could have some serious health complications, and in some cases like Syphilis Infection- you can die!

unless the test is designed for multiple test. It would only show HIV which stands for Human immunodeficiency virus . Some one that is tested positive doesn't necessarily mean they will have the symptoms of AIDS. with stands for Acquired immune deficiency syndrome

No,it will not.That is one that won't. If you go in just for a general testing, they can tell you, however, HIV is a different test. Good luck.

You must ask to be tested for what you would like to be tested for. A lot of times it is free and very confidential. Check your local gay/lesbian community......good luck.

the test will not show that you have anything else, unless you ask the doctor to test you for every STD there is.

disease testing is specific for the disease, no HIV testing is for HIV only, not another STD

A blood test will show everything, yes to answer your question.
