Posssible exposure?
Hi, two nights ago I had a possible exposure to std when I stupidly had brief unprotected oral (her on me) and brief unprotected vaginal sex (5-10 min) with a women i met that night. I realized what i was doing then stopped. My partner claimed to have nothing but can't be sure obviously. I always use condoms(i'm not very sexually active anyway) and this was a random isolated incident but i know thats all it takes sometimes. I am wondering what my chances are of catching an std (mainly concerned about herpes, hpv, syphilis,etc.) from a single, brief unprotected encounter like this. I am going to go get tested at the appropriate time. Thanks to anyone who could give advice or suggestions.
Grace is 11 weeks after good enough b/c i'm switching residences at 12 weeks post exposure and its easier to do blood test where i'm at now. I mean its one week short of the 12-16 weeks which is the optimal choice.
3 months is how long you need to wait. I know it's hard but if you don't wait that long, you'll just end up testing again and spending more money and causing yourself more anxiety.

oh i'm sorry grace keep forgetting to add things in previous posts. If my last test was negative for both hsv-1 and hsv-2 and this possible encounter was my first partner since last test would 6-8 weeks be good enough to determine if i had newly acquired infection on igg blood test or should i wait little longer.
hahahahaha yea blood test is last thing to do when time, thank you grace and i will report back when i have any new substantial news. thanks a ton.
I never recommend an infectious disease doctor. unless they specialize in std's, usually you don't get a good experience out of them. most of them consider std's as wasting their time for the most part.
you've seen 3 providers and this last one didn't see a darn thing going on. definitely time to call off the crotch watch and save your money.
