Are STD tests different for men and women?

Key Points

• The physical appearance of men and women are
  different, so are their body parts. When we talk
  about the tests for the sexually transmitted
  diseases, we assume that all the limelight will
  be in the private parts of the body. However,
  this is not the case all the time.
• The sexual organs differ in men and women.
  Although the basic components of tests for
  sexually transmitted diseases and infection are
  same, they may vary slightly when the test is
  performed in different genders. It is not only
  important to have complete know-how of different
  STDs but also how they spread, tested and treated
  as well.
• It is advised to take an STD test immediately if
  you doubt having one. This doubt generally arises
  after doing unprotected sex, getting sexually
  engaged with an anonymous partner or having
  unnatural sex.
• Chlamydia and gonorrhea are those two STDs that
  spread very fast. However, they are the ones
  which are painless when we talk about their
  tests. Both these STDs require a urine test for
  both the genders. Or else, a swab in the cervix
  and a swab of the tip of the penis also suffice.
• Other than this, some of the STDs which require
  blood test are also the same for both the
  genders.
