It is best you catch your mother in a good mood but how is up to you since you know her better. You could tell her about your concern about STD to open the discussion.You do not need parental consent at your age to be evaluated for STD and since it is consensual encounter should not elicit much problems. You should take precautions in the future is very important because there are dangeroous STDs.

You can visit your Gyn or MD without having to explain to your Mom about the reason as you are an adult. Sexuality is also private and you do not need a permit from your mother for it -in Western societies. Get a pregnancy test too. Suggest birth control measures if you want to be sexually active and have your partner tested if you worry about his having it.
