Did i test too early for tests to be accurate?

after 7 months of being sexually active with one person i was tested for gonorrhea chlamydia and trich - i also had an ultrasound and pelvic exam.
everything came back normal and negative to stds.

i was tested about 18 days after the last time i had sex.
i am not sure if he cheated so im wondering if 18 days after the last time having sex would be accurate to test for the the three stds i have mentioned.

thank you

your testing 18 days post encounter was accurate for the std's you listed. you are worrying needlessly!!

are you going to follow up with syphilis testing at the 6 week mark and herpes, hiv and hepatitis testing after 3 months too?

I understand what you mean -- just go to the doctor and get tested and treated then if it is positive get treated for PID aswell.
18 days is long enough for it to show up of a test

If you've caught Chlamydia or Gon AFTER you tested negative for the STDS then you may not know you have it.They can go silent x

If I had chlamydia or any other STD , would I have known if the tests were taken over a year ago?
