Could std symptom show with a hour after exposure?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, impossible: No STD (really no infection of any kind) can cause symptoms so quickly; it takes at least a couple of days for symptoms to start. Anything starting only an hour after sex either is a chemical irritation, trauma, or allergy -- or just a coincidence.

No, it: takes a minimum of a day or two for almost any infection to establish itself and start causing symptoms.
