STD testing

Post by huahincharlie »

Could anyone recommend a place to get an STD test please. Unfortunately yesterday the condom broke, and I know from experience a lot of local people do not take such health precautions very seriously. Thanks.

It depends on what STDs you're concerned about.

HIV--the testing is a waste of time until 3-6 months have passed, according to doctors I've spoken with--they test for antibodies, and antibodies take time to develop.
Herpes--Can only really be tested for during an outbreak.
Syph and Ghono--Can test pretty much immediately.
