  5. Hi, I had unprotected sex with a sex worker and Im getting tested for STDs within 3 days of the encounter. Is that too soon to get accurate results? Should I wait longer or is it okay to test now? Also, is there anything else I should be doing to take care of my health in the meantime?

If you had unprotected sex with a sex worker, you should wait at least 14 days before getting tested for chlamydia or gonorrhea, and at least 28 days before getting tested for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Testing too early can lead to false results, while being tested too late can cause complication
