STI and STD are the same things. Sexually transmitted infections is the "new" term for sexually transmitted disease.
All things sexually transmitted fall into either term.
When I said good indicator, all I meant was it was a good sign. CBCs aren't usually done in conjunction with STDs, so it really can't be used as a diagnostic tool.

Hi Auntiejessi
Thanks again for your help. I really do appreciate that. I just would like to clarify couple of things from your note.
First, when you said STD, do you also include herpes in this category? Many people consider herpes as STI not STD.
Secondly, when you said CBC is a good indicator, is that also mean that many people who has just got infected with herpes II (or any other STI ) tend to get some signs from CBC testing?
You don't need a test for herpes. You won't get it from this.
Yes, the cbc is a good indicator, but you won't get an std from this.

Now, it’s been 7 days since I had this encounter and wondering what kind of testing is available to check herpes II?
Secondly, I had white blood cell count testing just couple of days ago to check any kind of infection since I had a sore throat. It came out normal. Is that any helpful information to determine whether or not I have STD/STI from 7 days ago encounter?
Thanks in advance
Possibly in your eyes, but its not likely.

Thank you very much for your comment Naveed777. What if vaginal fluids got into eyes and nose, would there be any risk? I don't think I saw any sign of outbreaks from her but not totally sure since it is kind of dark.
No risk with vaginal fluids on your skin plus there should be an outbreak going on with the person in order to transmit the herpes virus...
