, Jul 05, 2007 12:00AMThere is no specific time. Go to a doctor and get a blood test. The doctor can tell you if there is any antibodies in your blood that show exposure to a disease, for example, hiv, herpes etc. If there is no trace of you having had the diseases and the doctor says you do not have them now- THEN you are safe ( or as safe as science can pronounce at this time)
To protect your new wife- you really MUST go to a doctor and get these tests. Herpes for example, if there, can remain in your system for a lifetime-- so there is no amount of time that makes it safe for your wife. What will make it safe- is a real examination and a clean bill of health from a reputable doctor who examines you carefully.

Ignoring the weirdness here, just get tested. No doubt you are fine, but that would be the way to know for sure.
