A member asked:

I had protected sex (with condom) and got an std test 12 days later. the result was negative (urine and blood test). can i rely on this result even though i got tested before the recommended 14 day period?

Negative urine and blood test can assure only for absence of gonorrhea and chlamydia. Incubation periods for syphilis and HIV are 3 weeks and 1-2 weeks each.
