A member asked:
Dr, had protected sex and unprotected oral 13 august. so far no symptoms. when is the best time for me to do std tests? are rapid tests (hiv finger prick 4th gen and syphilis) reliable at this juncture?

With no symptoms, testing really isn't needed for such an exposure. But if you decide to be tested, a urine gonorrhea/chlamydia test can be done any time more than 4-5 days after exposure. Blood tests for HIV and syphilis are conclusive 6 weeks or more after exposure. For sure do not have any other tests of any kind: all other tests are either entirely unnecessary or, in some cases, not reliable.
