A member asked:
Anyone know what is a reasonable wait time after having questionable sex should you be tested for stds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risky behavior: Different stds have different incubation periods. It ranges from one week for gonorrhea, trichomonas and chlamydia to 6 months for hiv. That is why you must be very careful whom you take as a sex partner. Syphilis and hepatitis take about 6 weeks to detect. Discuss the specifics with your doctor.
