what is the incubation period to get sexually transmitted disease including hiv?

Answer 1

There are so many out there to list. The simple like gonorrhea is 7-10 days. Chlamydia; you can have that and not know it but incubation is the same. Herpes: anywhere from 3-5 days after contact.

HIV: 2 weeks to as long as 6 months. Then there is syphilis, HPV etc. The list is long.

When I was stationed on Okinawa I used to treat the guys that came back with all that stuff. There isn't much I haven't seen. I would gross you out if I told you all of them.

Answer 2

Many of the STDs have an incubation period of a few days to a few weeks. You may also have an STD without any visible signs- an example is the HPV virus. Many people have this but are completely unaware. HIV can take some time to show up on a blood test. I would rec. getting tested now and again in 6 months to ensure that everything is ok. The only way to know is to get tested- and a lot of these diseases can reak havoc on your body while you are blissfully unaware, esp if you are a female. The good news, most STDs can be treated fairly easily. The ones that cause long term problems are usually viral- HPV, HIV, Herpes. Good luck, hope everything is ok.

Answer 3

Yes it can be surfacing now. Like any other STD's the symptoms can appear right away or just not appear at all. I suggest you get treated agian and tell the doctor you only waited 24 hours, that way you get a different antibiotic cause in some cases your body may have built up immunity agianst the previous one.

Answer 4

Well for anything like gonorrhea or chlamydia it takes about 2 to 3 weeks HIV it could take months even years
