Testing Windows

Trying to get a clear answer, I recieved oral and gave protected anal. oral was unprotected this was around 4 days ago. Could I test for gnohorea and chalamydia now ? or is it too early, as some websites say have wait 2 weeks so not sure. Also does it amtter if its a urine or a swab test will this depending on how soon infection if any came up ?

no reason to test yet actually. you've had no symptoms and it's very low risk that you'd contract a std from receiving oral sex. we don't recommend any testing at all from oral unless you develop symptoms - the risk is THAT low of contracting a std from oral.

if you do decide to test,  best to wait a full week before doing so. Most clinics aren't offering testing that is accurate that soon and if it's a false negative from testing too early you'd just have to repeat it later on anyways should you develop symptoms.

Hello

Sorry for the delay here.   Thanks for bumping this up.
I've seen the doctors on this website say that you can test by day 3, when he talks about the urine NAAT test or PCR test for chlamydia and gonorrhea.

It does matter if you do a urine or swab, because the swab is painful.  Ouch!   Just that alone made me think twice about a pernicious lifestyle.   All you need is a STD test via urine.
