A member asked:

When is the earliest you can get sti tested after exposure and get accurate results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Birendra Tandan answered

There are many STIs and they have different periods before tests are positive. So one has to be specific. It can be 1- 21 days depending on the disease.
