A member asked:

I slept w someone unprotected last night. how long do i wait to go get tested for stis w my doc? can i go today or do i have to wait for best results?

STD testing: Many STD's are not easily tested for immediately (like HIV, HPV, Herpes I and II), but bacterial STD's are usually tested for by culturing within a few days. Wait for about two months for tests for viral STD's to be evident, as blood testing is necessary.

Slight itching and fishy odor later in the day the same day of unprotected sex. Would STIs present that quickly, or is this more likely BV? Partner and I discussed having been tested and both being clean; offered to let each other see results.
