How Long After Unprotected Sex Should I Get Tested For Herpes Or HIV?

Also, I think I have a sore on my lip and slight tingly feeling on my genitals. I read these are symptoms for herpes, but I am not sure if I am imagining these after I read them.
Firstly,you definitely should worry about your own health. If you are at risk,getting regular check ups is a reasonable idea. Now,HIV and Hep B are transmitted through body fluids and blood.So they symptoms dont show so soon. They can be detected by Blood test only at this early stage. You can get them done asap. Other common stds are herpes, syphilis,gonorrhea, etc which can also be tested easily in the lab. Symptoms also wont show so early. At least a week after infection,depending on the virulence.You can be tested at any govt.hospital in your city,and apart from them, any reputed lab like Apollo,Metropolitan, Ranbaxy, Lal Path labs etc will do the tests. But you need a doctor's prescription.I suggest you see your GP and get them prescribed.
