Some show up in blood tests, HIV and syphilus being the only ones I can think of.

yes...and the sooner you are checked out the better...some std's show up in swabs or urine....but the most reliable is the blood test...even HIV tests are swabs....
Even if asymptomatic I would get a test if you suspect anything
Syphilis, Gonorrha, Herpes, Chlamydia, Hep ABCD, and Herpes can be detected in the blood...and no they do not have to be specifically looking for these...a good Dr will see the abnormality in the blood...
I also saw that some people on here are giving you time frames...for HIV the time line for the appearance of antibodies in the blood...and that is what we check for...can be longer than 11 months...so please listen to a Dr about the rest of the details, or a Nurse, or someone in the medical profession who is not playing at Y/A because this is your life and well being we are talking about here

If that's what the lab is testing for. There are many kinds of tests that can be done with blood. Checking your blood type won't show if you have an STD.

Depends on which STD you are talking about? Some show in blood tests, some dont.

Usually NO, they run an different set of testings for std's, other then a normal blood test...
EDIT: If you want to know if you have contracted a STD you will have to ask specifically!!

If you have had a blood test to check for STD's then yes it would. Generally they don't but If you are worried that you have contracted an STD then get yourself down to the local family planning clinic where you can be tested.
Many thanks

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.
Diagnosis of syphilis is done through a blood test and/or examination of secretions from chancres.
For all other STDs, discharge from vagina or penis is examined by a microscope for the presence of a pathogen or by direct observation of ulcers and knowing medical history.
