When Should Test For HIV And STDs Be Taken?

Hi, 3 years ago I had a girlfriend that had a boyfriend before me. We had sex many times. She had a bump right on her lip(top part). She went to the doctor where he said it was a cyst or something...and he had it removed. Should I get tested for HIV or any STD's?
