Can I be tested for STDs the day after having sex?

Great question! Unfortunately, STDs will not show up (on either a test or symptomatically) until at least 2 to 3 weeks after sexual interaction with an infected person. We always recommend using condoms to help reduce your risk of contracting an STD.
