How quick can STD symptoms show themselves?

by Symptom Advice on May 18, 2011

Can you begin to feel symptoms the first day after a sexual encounter?

It depends on

1) what STD are you suffering from?
2) Environmental conditions. etc weather, humidity
3) your body resistance

If you ever suspect you have STD, see a doctor and stop having sex till you are sure you don't have it.

you really don't feel the effects, they sort of just happen. just like aids. you don't know that somebody has it, unless you see somebody taking their aids medications! the effects really don't kick in until the next sexual encounter with your partner. make sure if you do have an std to let your partner know.

no most people don't even know that they have a disease until they go the doctors

no,a week maybe more

Hello, if you mean hiv probably 2-4 weeks for acute infection

depending on what std you would have contracted would determine how long you would expect to see anything if anything appears at all. more and more studies are showing that people have been contracting std's by a partner that had one but was never aware of having it. you would not be able to tell if you had contracted one the day after the infected intercourse. there have been cases where someone has been infected with the HIV virus but did not get diagnosed until strange symptoms started to appear…7 years later!!! by that time, it was too late and the man lost his battle but moral of the story, if you think you have an std, please please PLEASE get yourself checked. you don't even have to go to your family doctor…you can go to planned parenthood and they would be able to do it for free and under confidentiality. std's are a serious matter and if you don't know for sure that you are 100% clean, you can potentially hurt yourself and the rest of your partners for the rest of your life.

no, there is an incubation period

No I dont think so . studies say anywhere from 3 days to 6 months

some cases you would never know because you dont have any syptoms like Hpv the strains 18 + 20 of that virus that COULD lead to cervical cancer .

It depends upon the STD and what sex you are. In women, symptoms often appear much more quickly and severely than in men, and some STDs may have no symptoms at all.

It usually takes longer than a day to feel any symptoms; however, if you have any questions, it's best to talk to your doctor.
