Yes, and specifically ask for a throat swab. Gonorrhoea at the throat is one of the infections most reliably acquired through oral sex and it is almost always symptomless.

A urine sample will tell you nothing about it.

Ask about vaccination at the same appointment. Hepatitis B and HPV both come up in this conversation and both are better dealt with before rather than during.

Set yourself an end date rather than checking indefinitely. One proper look in good light a week after the second treatment, and then stop. The checking becomes its own problem otherwise.

There is also no screening test for oral HPV in routine use anywhere, so there is nothing to ask for even if you wanted it. What exists is dental and medical examination of anything persistent.
