Q: how accurate are current std tests? i tested negative for syphilis and hiv 5 months after unprotected sex! also negative for chlamydia and ghonorea if i need more tests i will im just worried?

: All these STD tests (and others) are very sensitive, i.e. they almost never miss an infection. Your results prove you have none of the infections mentioned.
