Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
STIs are more than 30 in number. All STI have no test to detect in blood. Certain STIs can be detected from smear taken directly from the lesions or discharges.
Syphilis and HIV have separate blood tests to detect them.
Herpes and chlamydia, Hepatitis are having blood test either to confirm or rule out. Warts can be diagnosed by inspection. So mostly a clinical examination along with investigations would be more useful and confirmatory to fix the diagnosis.
