Yes somethings, including HIV, take a while for the antibodies (which is what I think they are looking for, for some STIs) to develop in your system.
I just went in today. When making an appointment I said I wanted an STD screening. When the doc came in, we went over what I wanted. I just told her to ahead and do everything. The pap can only return results for STIs, they do blood work for others.
