Chancroid- A treatable bacterial infection that causes painful sores. Incubation Period: 12 hours to 5 days.
Chlamydia- Much chlamydial infection goes undiagnosed, because the infection is often without symptoms. However, it can cause vaginal bleeding and discharge, abdominal pain, fever and inflammation of the cervix in women. And in men, it can cause a watery or milky discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles and a burning feeling while urinating. A treatable bacterial infection of the prostate, urethra & female pelvis. Incubation period 7 to 21 days.
Crabs (Lice) Parasites or bugs that live on the pubic hair in the genital area. Incubation period. As long as a week if it's the first time you've had pubic lice; as little as a day if this is a recurrence.
Gonorrhea-Incubation period 1 to 14 days. A treatable bacterial infection of the penis, vagina or anus, "the clap”. Males experience a discharge from the urethra. Women are particularly vulnerable to this asymptomatic form of the disease.
Hepatitis A disease that affects the liver. There are 5 types. Hepatitis-Incubation Period: Two weeks to five months, although hepatitis C can remain dormant for 10 years before symptoms crop up.
Herpes simplex-- Incubation Period: Anywhere from five to twenty days.
Symptoms include small blisters in the genital area which rapidly break down to leave painful ulcers. Other symptoms include pain or difficulty in passing urine. Some patients may develop headache and fever. Herpes infection during late pregnancy is potentially dangerous to the baby during labour. Herpes is a life-long chronic condition which cannot be cured. Viral infection recurs causing blisters (anus, vagina, penis).
HIV / AIDS A viral infection of the immune system. Incubation Period: Some people develop symptoms shortly after being infected, but for many it takes more than ten years for symptoms to appear.

Though the illness usually begins with one or more painless but highly infectious sores appearing anywhere on the body (but usually at the site of infection) this is not always the case. The condition is especially significant in women in pregnancy where infection can cause miscarriage, still birth, or a damaged baby.

Most STDs won't show up if you get tested immediately.
I'd suggest your friend wait a week (at the very least). This will give any STD he might have contracted enough time to show up on a test.
And, he should probably go back again in about 6 months and be tested for HIV.
If he contracted a bacterial STD such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis, it can be easily treated and cured with some antibiotics.
If he contracted a viral STD such as HIV, herpes, HPV, or hepatitis then there is NO cure.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/c57e5
