A blood test should show if you have stds
on average, it could take up to a year and
a half for a healthy couple to conceive.

Stds................... Posted: 11-01-05 15:13pm
To find out if you have stds, you would
need to go have a pap smear. The dr will
do a culture (long q-tip) send it to the
lab and get the results.
Blood test is for hiv, hep. Things that
are in your blood.

I Have Herpes Maybe I Can Help You Posted: 11-02-05 00:54am
Do you have any possible symptoms of any
stds?? Even if you dont have symptoms I
know its still very possible to have
virus...
Not all stds are routinely checked for at
a pap smear..If you ask to be specifically
tested for herpes, or hpv (genital warts)
they can test you accordingly.
On another note if you have genital
herpes, there is no cure however it doesnt
affect fertility and the only real danger
is upon delivery they will culture you to
see if you are having a live virus present
(pre-outbreak) and if so you would have to
have a c-section. If you have hpv
(genital warts) you can still conceive
also, but there is no cure for this
either,-my friend discovered she had this
mid-pregnancy and still vaginally
delivered a healthy baby girl.
Fyi aprox 25% of sexually active adults
have herpes simplex virus 2 and about 33%
have hpv many have no symptoms and do not
even realize they have it until they have
passed it on or had it for a while.
Personally I have genital herpes, so if
you have more questions or test positive
and need someone to talk to feel free to
send me a private message or reply on this
forum.
Get tested asap.

Pregnancy And Fear of Std's Posted: 01-24-06 21:32pm
Try not to stress about it to much, it
will make it harder to get pregnant. It
took me 2 years to get pregnant and it
didn't happen untill I stopped thinking
about it. If it turns out that you do
have an std you will have to be carefull
when it is time to give birth and you
might have to have a c-section like I did
but unless your doctor says you are
infirtle try not to worry about it.
