Then there's the whole 21 day incubation period for that whole ebola thing.

Just throwing it in here for additional virus/disease talk. Just say nobola.

When it comes to STDs and specifically, STD testing windows, you want to make sure you’re testing at the right time – lest you receive a false negative or positive, right?

If you have an STD, you want to know with certainty so you can treat it or start managing it; and if you don’t have one, you also want to know that without question!

So, here’s your go-to guide for the most commonly tested STDs – the ones the clinics often test for free or very low cost and the ones you can even order tests for right in the comfort of your own home…

After someone is exposed to a disease and becomes infected, there is generally a period of time before a test will show positive. That period is known as the window period, and it is different from the incubation period, which, is the time that passes between being exposed to a disease and starting to experience symptoms. STD testing windows vary by STD, so it’s important to make sure you’ve matched the window period with the specific STD(s) you are getting tested.

With that in mind, typical STD testing windows are:

Chlamydia Urine Test:
Possible Detection – Within the first week
Most Likely Detection – 2 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 4 Weeks

Gonorrhea Urine Test:
Possible Detection – Within the first week
Most Likely Detection – 1-2 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 2-3 Weeks

Herpes Simplex 1 & 2 Blood Test:
Possible Detection – 2-4 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 6-12 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 12-16 Weeks

Syphilis Blood Test:
Possible Detection – 1-2 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 6 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 12 Weeks

HIV Antibody Test *:
Possible Detection – 3 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 4-6 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 12 Weeks
HIV Early Detection Test **:
Possible Detection – 1-2 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 3 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 3-4 Weeks

Hepatitis A Blood Test:
Possible Detection – 2-3 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 3-6 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 6-7 Weeks

Hepatitis B Blood Test:
Possible Detection – 1-6 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 6-10 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 12 Weeks

Hepatitis C Blood Test:
Possible Detection – 4-5 Weeks
Most Likely Detection – 6-9 Weeks
Highest Accuracy – 10-12 Weeks

Lastly, it’s essential to remember, during incubation or window periods, an infected person can transmit the infection/disease to someone else.

So, get re-tested after 6 months of receiving a negative result to ensure a false-negative did not occur if your partner tested positive for an STD, you believe you received a false-negative, you are experiencing symptoms, or you were newly exposed.

*According to the CDC, most people infected with HIV will develop detectable antibodies within 25 days of exposure and 97% of people will have HIV antibodies by three months after exposure.

**STD testing experts recommend confirming this with the ELISA HIV test , which is considered the gold standard in HIV testing, at 3 months post-exposure.
