A pregnancy test will not detect chlamydia or gonorrhea. You'll have to ask the health care provider if those tests were conducted. Different health care providers have different habits. I've never worked at an office that "sent out" a urine pregnancy test, but could imagine that such a thing would happen.
A pregnancy test looks for a specific hormone, which is "turned on" when a fertilized egg implants in your uterus. A pregnancy test alone will not check for STIs or STDs.

Depending on the state you live in or any other medical preconditions - as per your medical insurance, etc - your doctor may automatically check for AIDS, chlamydia or gonorrhea, but only if the test you took was a blood test and sometimes only if you are over a certain age. However, this varies, so you should call your doctors and find out if they requested these tests for your blood samples.

Otherwise, you have to request that these tests be done. If you have more than one partner, this is typically a good habit to request BEFORE the tests are sent out, whether or not they automatically make these requests.
