It seems most of the usual sources for STD testing do blood/urine tests - where do you go for throat swab testing for things like gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Those are typically detected with urine samples

I did that.  I guess I  worded my question poorly.  

1.  Do most of you get throat swabs in addition to blood/urine tests?
2. Do most of the usual labs that do the blood/urine testing also do throat swabs?  I don't see it listed on their websites (other than TTS which doesn't have a location near me).

There are also at home tests you can send for.

Everyone has to educate themselves and know what to ask for because unfortunately some doctors don’t know.  

 
A long time ago I told my GP I’ve been seeing escorts so test me for everything. She said okay, didn’t ask any questions about specific activities I had done.  

 
She took a bunch of blood vials and urine and then rammed a q-tip up my urethra, but no throat swabs.

a Q-tip up your urethra can be a sign of affection.  Just ask any Domme.

HA!
Well if that is indeed her kink (zero shaming here) and insurance paid for her time instead of it coming out of my pocket, is that a win-win? I actually hope she enjoyed it.  

 
I’m just glad she didn’t try to get a throat culture with the same  swab.

from herself rather than you, the results might be the same, depending on what had already transpired by that time.  Lol
