What is the best way to protect against an std?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
STD Protection: Abstinence. Knowing your partner's std status from labs (trust is a major issue, if they are not willing to show you the results....), use of condoms for many (not a reallybig help for herpes though if there is an active infection.).

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?
