A member asked:
If i am very susceptible to infections, fall ill easily or has low immunity.is it likely that i will show symptoms of a std 6 hours post exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Six hours is much too soon for an infection to develop after sexual activities, and be causing symptoms. People don't have to worry about symptoms arising, until 3 days or more have passed after the activities.
