Also for testing, how long for herpes.
your risk is really low so take a deep breath. for testing for chlamydia and gonnorhea wait 7 days to test. HIV and syphilis are 6 weeks and herpes is 6 weeks or 3 months i believe. Most likely you do not have anything but it is always safe to check. But try not to worry about it unless physical symptoms develop. Best of luck.
Herpes is 4 months. And just so you know. Race is not all that important when it comes to std transmission. Std's know no race, or ethnic background. The statistics are the result of lack of resources, insurance, medical care, knowledge, etc.
You are right, I'm sorry if I sounded racist in any way. I know that certain ethnicities tend to have higher rates of STDs (supposedly). Thanks for your comments. If anyone can find a link with reccomended testing window periods that'd be great, thanks.
www.ashastd.org is a great website for std information including testing times.
And you didn't sound racist. Many people make that mistake. Just like there are older sexually active people that get std's. The ones who don't either don't have unprotected sex with multiple partners or don't have sex at all. So, you won't see a whole lot of older people going to the doctor for std treatment.
