please help
Hi, I am going through a very hard time in my mind whether I should wait for 84 or 90 days to be tested for hiv, hbv, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Does it make any difference if it 84 days or 90 days? Do I need to test again for any of these std's again if it is negative after 84 days? It was one time unprotected vaginal sex. Thanks.

I don't know what websites you are reading, but at most, it is 6 weeks.
You've also had no symptoms, and syphilis is still a rare infection.
You have nothing to worry about here.
Let it go.

why are people saying window period for syphilis is 6 weeks when some websites say it can take 90 days for syphilis to be positive.
