Hello dear
I understand your concern
If you have exposure to unprotected sex then go for Combo test after 28 days from exposure.
It will detect the gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes and HIV infection
But it can detect from 2nd week onwards.
Another test should be done after 90 days of exposure.
It is The 4th generation test or DUO (Combo) test gives almost 95 to99 % accurate. It will detect both antigen and antibody against the infections accuracy. This is serological blood test.
Hope this may help you
