" How soon after having unsafe sex can I find out if I&amp;#039;ve contracted an STD? You&amp;#039;ll need to wait about one month after having unprotected sex before being tested, says Suzanne Trupin, M.D., a professor of OB-GYN at the University of Illinois at Urbana. To check for chlamydia and gonorrhea, your doctor will take a sample (like a Pap smear) and send it to a lab; results take about a week. Both bacterial infections can be nixed with antibiotics. If you see genital warts, caused by the human papillomavirus, your doctor must remove them ASAP. Other forms of the virus can usually be detected with a Pap test. HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B and C require a blood test to diagnose. Results can take four days. While there is no cure for HIV, antiviral meds may help; hepatitis and herpes can be treated or controlled with drugs. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
