Thank you .. friends of mine were married for 34 years .. upon separation she had 4 different partners within one week, about a week or so later she had sex with her estranged husband. He is very concerned as he waits for his Dr appointment. I told him that his odds of infection were not extremely high ... wanted to reassure him. What do you think?

This depends on the std, but for safety's sake, assume that if you are infected today, you are infectious tomorrow.
