If you went to a clinic and got blood urine test for STDs will it pregnancy as well even if I ask test?
A standard STD (sexually transmitted disease) test panel typically does not include a pregnancy test unless specifically requested. Although both tests can involve blood or urine samples, they detect different substances or markers.
Here's a breakdown of what an STD test panel usually covers and how a pregnancy test differs:
STD Test Panel:
- Blood Tests:
- HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
- Syphilis
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Urine Tests:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
Pregnancy Test:
- A pregnancy test detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood or urine.
- hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy and its levels increase as the pregnancy progresses.
Therefore, if you want to check for pregnancy along with STD testing, you should specifically request the inclusion of a pregnancy test. Some clinics offer combined panels that include both STD tests and pregnancy tests, but it's essential to clarify your testing preferences with the healthcare provider or lab technician.
