Testing Time Frames

[sam6386]

I just wanted to know the correct guidelines for testing after an oral sex or vaginal intercourse encounter.
How soon can you test for these STDs/STIs after the encounter-
1. Chlamydia?
2. Gonorhea
3. NUG non-gonoccocal urethis
4. HPV- human papaloma virus
5. Molluscum
6. Contagiosum
7. PID (pelvic inflammatory disease)
8. Trichomonas
9. Yeast Infections
10. Bacterial Vaginosis
11. Pubic Lice/Crabs
and is all of that tested through urine/pap smear and or swab test?

I know HIV and Herpers and Hep. need atleast 3 months and are tested through blood. and Syphillis is 6 weeks and also tested through blood.

www.ashastd.org has the answers you are looking for.

There is not a commercially available hpv test  - you can get tested for hpv infections on the cervix with your pap test but no testes for external genital warts.  Same goes for molluscum - no test available.

You can be tested for vaginitis a few days after sex.

Just a few things you need to know:

I am not proficient in testing time frames though i know someone will be able to answer your question after the long weekend.

But Yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, and PID are not considered std's.  Yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis are most common in women with BV occurring only in women.  Many women who are not sexually active can get either of them.  PID i s a complication that can happen if a person has an std or BV that has gone untreated for a very long time.

However, because men have yeast in their bodies as well, they can become susceptible to an infection from yeast if he has sex with a woman who has an infection at the time and also, as a reaction from taking antibiotics.
