I was told they performed (my dr) an RPR, a PT and a pap test. What are those things? I know a little about the pap and I know they took blood from me. I was so nervous that after the Dr told me everything was fine I just was happy and left without any other questions. Now I have a light sore throat that extends now towards my ears. and according to some of the things I read here and some other sites it can be a symptom of ghonorea or even herpes. And if everythig came normal except for yeast infection (I'm worried of STDs and I have told the Dr that), would these tests be sufficient to cover all STDs or...? I am so worried. I thought if something is wrong I should go to the dr. Now even though I went to the Dr I'm still worried. Please advise ... and thank you for your time.

This is what I had posted a couple of days ago and I got a response from Peggy ( thank you so much) and I've found out hat I had a syphillis test. But I am not very clear on what PT is. Why would the Dr think it's necessary to give someone that suspects STD a PT test. What is i for. What about all these other STDs I hear about. Should I asume that after the dr examined me and he knew what I was worried about he thought there was no need to worrie about the other stuff? I mean can he be so confident I have nothing else by just those tests? I know this is too much but I am worried to death and I just need some peace and maybe other Dr's opinions. Thank you for your time....
