Which STD's to get tested for?

I know a lot of STD's have easy to recognize symptoms, so testing is not really necessary for everything, but some show no symptoms even if you are infected (like HIV).

So if someone were to get tested just for their own information, which STD's should they test for? Insurance will pay a portion of the tests, but each test will cost some money.

Update:

Does anyone actually read the entire question before submitting their judgemental answers?

    Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Thrichomoniasis, and Syphilis are the ones that I know of that can have no symptoms.

    Know this when getting a STD screening remember that herpes and hpv the 2 most common std's are not tested for. You must ask for these seperately. HSV is a blood test and HPV is a pap smear.

    I would say if you're worried, find the money for everything. Because you've not only slept with whoever it is you slept with, but everyone they have slept with and everyone those people have slept with. People pay such a high price for a few moments of orgasm. Too bad. Not smart.
