yes you can get a blood test for most std's. You'll also need a urine test for some of them. www.ashastd.org has a full list of std's and how you can test for them to read thru to learn more ( because I'm not doing all your work for you!!! )

u havent answer my 2nd question
will a test blood verify STDs decease?

[gracefromHHP]

herpes is a virus and syphillis is a bacterial infection. They have absolutely nothing in common except that they can cause genital lesions. Left untreated - syphillis will cause you long lasting health problems and possibly lead to death. Untreated herpes - just makes you uncomfortable longer.

www.ashastd.org has terrific info on all std's to learn more.

thx u very much, one more question
syphilis is worst than herpes right?
so if u got herpes instead of syphilis
u can relax a lil bit? or wat

[gracefromHHP]

syphillis is only worse if you don't treat it.  It is completely cureable with antibiotics.  

I never recommend not finding out  your herpes status. For one thing I feel it's important to be sure that indeed what you have is herpes and not something else. I also strongly believe that knowing your type is important for future partners.  You can chose never to treat it but confirming that what you have is herpes is important in my book.

like u said, herpes onli cuase u uncomfort later. one stupid questtion? if you dont wanna take herpes test and left untreated...is it dangerous to ur life?
and will a blood test no that u have any STDs?

[Bryanle1988]

wat the different between herpes and syphilis
or it just one decease? im a lil confuse in that

[mayflowers]

Yes!  If you are having an outbreak at the time of delivery, they will probably do  a c-section.  I've known lots of women with herpes and they have regular vaginal deliveries b/c they weren't having an out break at that time.  HTH
