What types of tests do I need to take to avoid false positives?

This Sunday will be a week from my incident of unprotected oral sex from a Escort or CSW. Through conversations with Vance and Life360 which have been a amazing help, and digging through the expert forums on this topic, I am starting to feel like it is going to be okay. I am on day 4 with no signs, symptoms, or discomfort in any way (whew). We all have ways of working ourselves up in a ball or nerves... One thing I am a bit nervous on, is making sure I get the right testing done. Mainly talking about false positives here, and what is the best and most accurate test to take at the right time frame to make sure I do not get a false positive and freak myself out when I really don't need that. For the Forum in a previous post, this is what Vance suggested for my time periods.

1 week. NGU, Gon, and Chlamydia.

6 weeks. Syphilis.

12 weeks. Herpes.


Kind Regards

Should be just 1 urine test or a urethal swab. See a Dr for testing.

Will 1 urine test take care of all three at 1 week? Is this something I can get from Walgreens or CVS or is it something that I need to go see a GP or clinic for?

There is also a STD that starts with Trich.... I'm not sure on the pronunciation. Is this something that can be transferred through unprotected oral sex?

For the herpes blood test, is it possible to take the test at 9-10 weeks to get an indicator?

Nothing is 100%, but all tests used today are highly accurate.
