Can someone put a chart or table on this article like the drug test article which shows how quickly you can get tested after exposure, the odds of catching each individual disease, and the method of testing?
"STD" is a somewhat outmoded acronym. The preferred nomenclature should be "STI" (Sexually Transmitted Infections). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.197.60 ( talk) 16:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Most STD tests are not blood tests.

Excellent section but potentially obfuscating title.

The main article on this topic, Sexually transmitted disease still uses disease, rather than infection. The name of this article should stay consistent with the name of that, unless there is a clear reason to do otherwise.
Google web page counts still show a (small) lead for STD test
Google trends shows searches for STD test a few times as common as STI test STD test,STI test
So there isn't clearly compelling evidence that this article should change to STI.
The topic of STI versus STD is discussed periodically on talk:Sexually transmitted disease, and that is probably the place to initiate or join in on discussion on updating the terms or renaming the articles in general. Zodon ( talk) 20:14, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
