A member asked:

How long after having unprotected sex with a questionable person should i be tested for sti/stds? is it something i need to have done or just wait and see if i develop symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it done: Go get it done. Better to catch it early than try to treat it after it gets worse.
