Suggest Tests To Determine STD In An Earlier Stage
I ve been looking up STD panel tests online. It seems the ideal test period is around 2-3 weeks after the potential incident? It has only been 5 days, but I want to be certain that I m not missing an opportunity to react quickly and aide early-treatment. Is there anything I can or should do for the next week and a half before I get tested?
i would suggest you to simply keep a watch on any symptoms if you develop in next few days Get your blood test periodically because incubation period varies from few days to weeks among various STDs. Hope this helps you good luck Regards
