I'm not sure what the clinical standard is for these tests, but I believe you could test for all of these with a PCR based assay. The basic equipment you'd need to get started are:
Pipettor(s)
Thermocycler (i.e. "PCR" machine)
Gel box and power supply
Gel light box
Look for this equipment on ebay or your local university's recycling store. You'll also need a bunch of consumable like tips, tubes, primers, polymerase, positive control DNA, agarose, DNA ladder, buffer salts, and dNTPs.

Hi! I'm new to this group. I am interested in doing the following types of tests at home, and would like to know if it's feasible? And what equipment I would need? At this point I haven't even bought a microscope yet.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea testing (nucleic acid or cell culture, from urine or swab)
Parasite testing from fecal and urine samples (giardia plus helminths / worms)
Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
