HTLV-1
HTLV-2
Can be transmitted sexually and are serious viruses. Unfortunately they are overlooked all too often. If you donate blood you will be tested for HTLV-1&2.
if you test positive you can never donate blood again.
Hep-C can also be transmitted sexually in rare instances, if there was exchange of blood.
Window period for Hep-C 3-6 months
Window period for HTLV could be 3-12 months.

Adding another STD "Donovanosis"
If its an STD matter you only need to worry about:
HIV (antibody HIV1/2 test) at 3 months window period
Herpes (antibody igG for HSV-1 and HSV-2) at 4 months window period
Hep B (antibody test, and antigent test) at 3 months window period
syphilis (RPR) at 6-8 weeks window period
Chancroid at 6-8 weeks window period
Gonorrhea (PCR/NAAT urine test) at 1 week window period
chlamydia (CR/NAAT urine test) at 1 week window period
NGU (urethritis; urethra swab test) at 1 week window period
You only need ONE test for each STD, from which window period has been meet for accurate results. In other words one negative test at 3 months post exposure for HIV is enough.
You don't need to know the names of the tests (I don't know the names of all the test), just go to a clinic and say, "I would like to be tested for chlamydia."
