The problem is that not everything can be tested for. HPV for example cannot be detected via a blood test. HSV tests are very expensive and not very accurate not all labs are equipped to do such tests.
These two viral STDs are the most common of all and can cause the most grief as there is no treatment for either. Once you have the virus, it there for life.
The next time you see your doctor, ask him specifically whether these tests were part of the package.
