For a routine general STD check three months post-exposure, even in the absence of symptoms, several tests are commonly recommended to ensure a comprehensive assessment. It’s a good idea to consider tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea, as these can be asymptomatic yet still pose potential health risks. Typically, these can be done through a urine test or a swab, depending on the site of exposure. Syphilis testing is also advisable, usually completed with a blood test, and by this time frame, it’s reliable for detecting most infections. HIV testing is crucial too. The standard practice now involves a 4th generation antibody/antigen test, which can accurately detect infections typically after a period of 2-4 weeks, so at 3 months, you’re in the clear window for accurate results. Hepatitis B and C screening may be considered, particularly if there’s a higher risk factor due to exposure type. Lastly, herpes testing could be considered if there were specific concerns or risks, though this might not be a standard part of routine testing without symptoms or a known partner’s infection, as blood tests for herpes can be less definitive. Make sure to discuss with your healthcare provider your specific circumstances as they’ll have insight based on the local prevalence and any individual risk factors you might have. They can guide whether additional tests may be necessary.iff there’s any situational nuances, such as previous history or partner’s health status, make sure these are also conveyed to your healthcare provider to refine your testing approach.
