When should I get tested?

MrPolitical1

I was dating this girl for a couple of weeks and 3 weeks ago I had sex with her for the first time and all without a condom...I deeply regret it because I should have had safe sex but she says she's clean and got tested a few months ago and only guy she slept with since was her ex-bf before we got together...and she says I can show you the papers and she says i'm the 7th guy she's ever slept with and she says how clean she supposedly is...last time we had sex was a week ago and now we're not seeing each other anymore. When should I go get tested? Thanks!

Most things show up with in a month. I was told to come back about three months later for a fallow up. Next time, think before you do..K its safer that way.

So, should I wait another 2 weeks to get tested or should I go get tested this week?

I don't know what kind of insurance you have. Unfortunatly that makes a difference If you won't be able to afford another trip, or do not have family planning (or public clinic), wait a week or so.I was asked to return just for an HIV test. But that was a while ago. Testing may be better by now.

I can get tested whenever I want but too much testing may not be good for your blood...should I just wait a week ? I don't see what the big deal might be.

so you are saying you had sex and wanna make sure you dont have a disesase? i yes would wait a week then get checked out but if you start to not feel right go see a docter immediately

Well, sometimes it takes a while for enough bacteria to form for the lab to see it. As far as testing too much, it isn't bad for your blood, just might get a sore arm. Plus alot of tests are done with swabs, or through urine.

Not good for your blood ??what the hell are you talking about?You can give a pint of blood one day and donate again a few days later, and they do not take a pint to test with.The amounts are small, it has no effect on your blood at all to have it tested.Alot of tests are done with urine and not blood.Not good for your blood...what sorta horseshit is that?
