Where I live in Ohio, it's law that OB's test for STD's with every pregnancy. Just like every mother who checks into the maternity ward is drug tested.   But if you're concerned, you may want to double check with your OB.

Mine automatically tested for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.  That is standard protocol for all pregnant women where I live no matter what your history is.

It depends on the laws in your county...in Jackson county Missouri all pregnant women are given std testing including HIV, no matter of she's married or not.
