no reason to wait 6 months. the time frames I listed are for the time after the encounter in question.
continue to follow up with your provider each time you have symptoms.
Thanks for the response. I was not aware of time frames you mentioned. Although, I did not schedule my physical because of my encounter with this woman....it was pure coinsidence and thought it was a good idea to get tested for STD's. The new symptoms didn't occur until after my testing so that was not why I did the test. The bump I mentioned before is gone after a few days and did not crust up nor was it painful and my anus isn't irrated anymore. I do still have occasional soreness in my penis but nothing new. The soreness is why I got tested in the first place which all tetsted came back negative. I am still worried because of the soreness....maybe something was over looked.....and I am even more concerned now then before because of the newer (brief) irratation symptoms I experienced that I can't get tested for 6 months? Please let me know what your thoughts are based on my first question and this response.
Thanks again.
testing 3 days post encounter was far too early for any of the testing you had done to be accurate :( You totally wasted your time and money.
since you have new symptoms, you need to return again for further exam.
you can test for chlamydia and gonorrhea anytime after 1 week post encounter. syphilis after 6 weeks. herpes and hiv after 3 months.
