How soon can i test for stds after exposure? chlamydia ghonorea hpv herpes etc exposure feb 8 testing feb 17 too soon!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not too soon: The tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea (vaginal or urethral swab, or urine) are valid any time more than 2-3 das after exposure. Nine days (Feb 8 to 17) definitely isn't too soon. However, the blood tests for syphilis and HIV generally aren't valid until a few weeks after exposure. (But sometimes it's a good idea to have an early test as a baseline -- then a later test to see if it turns positive.)
