thank you for query.The symptoms of STD you can look for are any rash, vesicles, redness, in genitals, urethral discharge, itching or burning in area,Inguinal lymph node swellings etc.
If you have any symptoms you can consult doctor they will investigate you by local examination, urine or discharge sample lab examination,blood tests if required,biopsy if required etc.
If you do not have any symptoms you need not bother.To clear your anxiety you can go for HIV testing for antibodies .Other STds are unlikely as you have no symptoms
