Thanks for posting your query to health care magic.
As I understandd you are worry for STD . So first I would like to assure you that STD can easily be prevent if you undergo safer safe practices and the best way to prevent it is Use of Condoms .And always remember that condom should not be torn during intercource .
Second about time of STD to investigate is there are so many different STD and there positivity is depend upon which test you are using to detect them. As a general rule if you have undergone unprotested sex with an unknown partner and you are worried about STD you can be screened for HIV and Hepatitis B mainly one test after unprotected sex and second test after 15 days .
You dont need to rule out all other STD if you are asymptomatic as it is very difficult to undergo test for all STD.But if you become symptomatic after having unprosted sex immediately consult to your clnician and take treatment .
Third when test result has to be awaited you can use condom during Sex .
hope I have solved your query .Feel free to contact me .
