STI testing time: Two weeks after potential exposure should be a good time to be tested and I would add HIV to the list. Practicing safe sex is essential in protecting yourself from these STIs. Receptive anal sex is perhaps the highest rate of transmission. Please use your condoms.

Within the week: You can be tested for these within the week after intercourse. I must advise the use of condoms in the future as HIV is easily spread by receptive anal intercourse as is HPV which is a cause of anal cancer.

2 Weeks: Gonorrhea and chlamydia tests can be positive in 2 weeks (unless you develop symptoms). Syphilis testing can be done 1 week to 3 months. Re testing may be done in few weeks to ensure you do not have infection. You should of course be tested for other infections as well. Using condoms can minimize your risk of infection.
