It depends...: It depends on how long after your last exposure you were tested. Some tests are conclusive within 3-5 days of exposure, like urine or swab tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Blood tests for syphilis, HIV, and other STDs take a few weeks to become positive. If your last tests were was too early, retesting might be a good idea. Best to see a doctor or clinic for in-person advice.
