Question 1

is it possible for std symptoms to show up less than 24 hours after sex?

Accepted Answer

Not possible: No infection can start to cause symptoms that fast; rarely sooner than 2-3 days. However, if an STD were already present, symptoms might be triggered by sex. Play it safe and see your doctor for diagnosis and possible treatment. Good luck!

Question 2

do std symptoms show a day or two after you had sex?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: We have a long list of sexually transmitted diseases with different lengths of prodromal periods. Most of them will show the symptoms in about 7 days or longer but some could show the symptoms in as early as 1-2 days too. If you have any abnormal discharge or discomfort see a doctor.

Question 3

what does it mean if you have a std but show no symptoms?

Accepted Answer

It can happen: That can happen. An example is chlamydia which is sometimes called a "silent std".

Question 4

can how many years an std develop.when it shows no symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

: Which one ? I know of at least a dozen diseases that can be transmitted through sex. Some may never trigger symptoms in a male during the period when they can pass it to others.

Question 5

can how many years an std develop.when it shows no symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

: This depends on the STD. Some HPV strains may never show symptoms in a male or female until she develops cervical cancer decades later &amp; dies. For others many show symptoms in most in a week. Be specific about what disease you are ask in about &amp; we can be more specific with an answer.

Question 6

can how many years an std develop.when it shows no symptoms.?

Accepted Answer

: Most STD's have symptoms (pain, discharge, etc.) with the exception of syphilis , which starts with an easily detected visual lesion, but is usually without pain, which appears in the genial area.  If ignored or missed, syphilis will still be present and detectable by lab testing, but may take years to affect the nervous system (tertiary form).

Question 7

are there stds other than hpv that would be late-onset and not show symptoms for 4 or more years?

Accepted Answer

In a male,: herpes, GC,chlamydia,trichomonas could all show late onset and not show symptoms. In a femalle,not as likely. I would think chlamydia and trichomonas might be late onset.

Question 8

how likely would it be to acquire any stds from unprotected oral sex and still not show symptoms 8 months later?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type: If you're talking about HPV, you might not have symtpoms for years.  Gonorrhea of the throat is often times mistaken for strep throat.  If you concern is that your partner cheated, go with your gut.  Most of the time you're right.

Question 9

is 2 weeks to soon to get tested for std after new partner? would it show up in a test? i got std tested & it was negative would that be accurate? or should i have waited longer to get tested?

Accepted Answer

: Different STDs have different window periods. Two weeks is too soon to rule out HIV or syphilis. Visit this site for information and talk to your doctor. : https://www.cdc.gov/std/healthcomm/fact_sheets.htm

Question 10

Accepted Answer

There : There are different types of std's - each one expresses differently in the body. Also there are some std's that present variably - like chlamydia.
