I am a super parinord guy and I had a protected one night stand with a female I don't know the female at all outside that event... I did reach out to her 3 days later and she assured me she didn't have any std/herpes ...its been 9 days since the encounter and I was just wondering if she didn't know she had herpes when could I expect to see some symptoms...currently I have no symptoms of any std/herpes I did get a std test 2 days after and everything was clear. At 9 days with no symptoms Em I in the clear?

    You have zero reason to even be worried about this, I'd try relax if I were you. You have no symptoms, she has no symptoms, the sex was protected... Obviously there's no way of being 100% certain just yet but there is really no need to be stressing yourself out here.

      For accurate bloods? Three months is the general window. So I think it's a waste of your money to be doing them yet. I think the majority of first outbreaks happen within a week or so of contracting so after 9 days you can begin to rest easy. There is of course the cases where this isn't so but in all honesty with neither of you having symptoms and you using protection you've got no need to worry like this, you're just causing unnecessary stress to yourself.

      I already told you the answers to all that you're asking again here in this new thread, but I guess you didn't like my answers and the idea of waiting 3 months, even though I don't think you need to test. Just Google the info in that case. Visits the CDC and ASHA's websites. And maybe don't have casual sex if you are going to get this paranoid afterwards!
