STD Question

I had unprotected sex with a woman I don't not know about 6 days ago. I don't have any symptoms but how soon can I get tested for STD's? I've heard from 7-14 days. If I go at 7 will it be inaccurate or should I wait the 14? Please advise and thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, how soon would symptoms begin to show? In regards to your response, if I go now a syphilis, HIV, or Herpes test would be inacurrate?

Symptoms are not going to show 100% of the time for all STD's. But gonorrhea could show 2-5 days but up to 30. Chlymida in 1-2 weeks. Syphilis 21 days on average.

If you went today your tests for syp, hiv and herp will not show anything that would be conclusive.
