No, it shouldn't hurt to get tested for STD's - if you feel discomfort tell the doctor/nurse.
In females STD screening involves using a speculum to open the vagina and take swabs from within the vagina and vulva. In males STD screening involves taking swabs from inside the urethra. In both sexes blood tests will be run for STD's such as HIV, and they may also use urine testing.
