Will all STDs show up in either a blood or urine test or are there any except HIV which wont ? How is herpes tested ?

Even though you can do several tests from blood and urine, there is no one test that will prove all of them. Some test spec. require blood, while others require urine.Chlamydia/Gonorrhea are detected by urine, where as HIV and Syphillis are only done by blood.Herpes can only be detected by a lession examination and HPV by pap smears...You may still be able to get checked for all by only one test, but you may not get accurate results.

I have a question :What if 2 lab tests(from different labs) show different results ?What is the remedy then ?

HIV will not show up in a routine test. You have to sign to have an HIV test done, and there is a special method for testing for HIV.Each STD has specific guidelines for testing so there is no blanket test for all STDs and HIV. You need to be very specific for what tests you want and what is being done.
