What Are The Symptoms Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

So I had unprotected sex with a new partner on Saturday. Sunday morning I started feel a sensation on my scrotum. I was also visiting a humid climate and had spent a lot of time out in it with confining underwear. Five days later my scrotum is red and slightly sore - not itchy though. So, my question, is it possible for an STD to start affecting me visibly within hours of having contact with vaginal fluids? Thanks,

Hello
Thanks for asking us.
In my opinion ,you should not do unprotected sex with person whose sexual history you do not know.
There are many STD'S which does not have any symptom for many days for example chlamydia or even months so I request you to go to STD clinic and do a test of VDRL .
They will not be visible with in hours but surely after 2 to 3 days in case of gonorrhea and 3to 20 for syphilis.
I want to advice you again most of STD'S are asymptomatic .your new partner might have any STD and she will not have symptom.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
