It Depends: There are twelve common STDS. Some can be diagnosed within days of infection and some takes months before a valid test can be accurate. You need to have a good primary care expert to help guide you through these complicated issues. You should also be able to name the common STDs and know how they are prevented or tested for.

2-3 weeks: Earliest way to know about STD is to do blood test in 2-3 weeks after having sex . It is quite accurate .
