Can pregnancy be detected during a std exam?
No, pregnancy is not routinely tested for during an STD exam. STD exams are used to identify sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Pregnancy tests are used to detect the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood or urine, which is produced during pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test or talk to your doctor. Pregnancy tests are available at most pharmacies and can be taken at home.
