Question 1

what is the incubation period on most stds?

Accepted Answer

Very wide range: "Incubation period" can mean time to symptoms or time until transmissible to partners. Many STDs never cause symptoms, especially in women. When symptoms occur, typical times are gonorrhea 3-5 days; chlamydia 1-2 weeks; herpes 3-10 days; syphilis 3-6 weeks; HIV 10-20 days; HPV 1-2 mo. to transmit, 6 mo. to 2 years for warts or abnormal pap smear. If at risk, get tested; don't wait for symptoms.

Question 2

please i would like to know the testing window period for the stds?

Accepted Answer

STDs: I am not sure your question: testing for STDs can take place at any time. If you are symptomatic, the earlier you get tested the better. But certain StDs such as chlamydia often are  symptomatic so routine testing, especially for women is advised. 
If you are concerned you have been exposed, get tested

Question 3

does one need to have a period to get a std?

Accepted Answer

No: No, literally all you need is skin to skin contact for most STDs and contact with infected secretions for others.  That means any skin to any skin, even oral to genital or hand to genital contact.  For instance, one can get the virus that causes genital warts from anothers hands, and one could get gonorrhea in the throat from oral sex. Periods have nothing to do with it.

Question 4

help! could stds cause my period to be late?

Accepted Answer

Normally STD's don't: Delay your period.

Question 5

will an std interfere my period?

Accepted Answer

STDs: Possibly. Would need far more info to try and answer your question in more detail. My suggestion is that if you feel you were exposed to an std go and see a doctor, be examined and tested thoroughly. Good luck.

Question 6

can an std cause a late period?

Accepted Answer

Rarely, but...: Rarely will a STD cause a late period, but pregnancy almost always does.

Question 7

can you get a std test while on your period??

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can get a sexually transmitted disease during your period or any other time that you have unprotected sex.

Question 8

can a std make you bleed as if your on your period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Std's can cause bleeding and the bleeding can be heavy.

Question 9

period coming on 2wice a mnth n bleed wen hving sex no stds wat is this?

Accepted Answer

Once a year?...: Question is unclear, but a woman with cycles shorter than 29 days (shorter than 1 month) will likely have 1 ovulation per month during the year, but have 2 ovulations during one month of the year (since she has about 13 cycles a year). That means a woman with 13 cycles in a 12-month year must have 2 periods a month during one of those months. She should discuss her issues with her Ob-Gyn doctor.

Question 10

does stds stop your period from coming if you have an std but don't know you have it?

Accepted Answer

No: Sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia) do not affect your menstrual cycles (periods). If you miss your period, make sure that you are not pregnant.
