This discussion is related to Irritation to tip of penis immediately after oral sex (and still present 4 days later).

It depends on the infection, your body, etc.

You might feel gonorrhea and chlamydia within a few weeks, but many don't get symptoms.  You might see a syphilis chancre within a few weeks to about 6 weeks, give or take, HPV might not show for years, HIV wouldn't show for years, and herpes might show up in a few days, but might not for several months or ever.

Oh those are symptoms - not tests.

You can test for gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU/NSU at a week.

Syphilis is 6 weeks, HIV is 3 months, and herpes is 4.  Many people will test positive much sooner than those time frames, but it can take that long.

are most irritation just that (irritations) or are all sexual diseases sore looking

[auntiejessi]

It really could be either.  Your doctor and testing can help tell the difference.
