Blood Test and STDs?

I recently had a blood test for a check-up. Although they did not test for any STDs, they did all the counts for white blood cells, red blood cells, etc. My white blood cell count was normal, does this mean that my body is definetely not fighting any sort of infection (specifically any STDs including HIV). Or could you still have a normal WBC count and still be infected with some STD? I am going to go for routine STD testing soon, but I wanted to ease my mind a little.

You can have a normal WBC and still have a sexually transmitted disease. For example, incubating HIV, herpes and HPV would not provoke extra WBCs.

Sorry if that doesn't ease your mind, but you really are looking at the wrong information to give you an idea about your health status. When you get your STD checkup, make sure to do blood tests for HIV, herpes and syphilis. Then do a urine test for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
