STD Testing

First off I'm a 20 year old male, white, no drug use, heterosexual. I had vaginal and oral sex last night with a girl, what I know about her is that she's white and in her early/mid 20's. While having intercourse the condom did break right at the tip and I think it was on broken for a minute or two. I then put a new condom on and continued.

What is my risk asessment STD wise?

How long should I wait for an STD test (chlamydia, gonnorhea, etc.)?

All the feedback is appreciated.

And you didn't sound racist. Many people make that mistake.  Just like there are older sexually active people that get std's.  The ones who don't either don't have unprotected sex with multiple partners or don't have sex at all.  So, you won't see a whole lot of older people going to the doctor for std treatment.

www.ashastd.org is a great website for std information including testing times.

You are right, I'm sorry if I sounded racist in any way. I know that certain ethnicities tend to have higher rates of STDs (supposedly). Thanks for your comments. If anyone can find a link with reccomended testing window periods that'd be great, thanks.

Herpes is 4 months.  And just so you know.  Race is not all that important when it comes to std transmission.  Std's know no race, or ethnic background.  The statistics are the result of lack of resources, insurance, medical care, knowledge, etc.

your risk is really low so take a deep breath. for testing for chlamydia and gonnorhea wait 7 days to test. HIV and syphilis are 6 weeks and herpes is 6 weeks or 3 months i believe. Most likely you do not have anything but it is always safe to check. But try not to worry about it unless physical symptoms develop. Best of luck.
