How many tests do I have to do to check for any/every possible STD?

For both myself, and my male partner.

And how long do we wait after intercourse before taking the test(s) ?

In my experience they usually get you to take two swabs and they do one blood test.

Most things I'd wait a couple of weeks to test for, HIV can hide for up to a few months so if you really want go about 6 months after.

Well, that is a good question, you can have your sex as long as you are using physical barrier such as condom, regarding the tests, depends what are screening against??!! is it Chlamydia, Gonorrhea or HPV? you do ur chlamydia at the community pharmacy but the rest check with your GP. i hope that helps you. best wishes

depends on how active/protective you are. I wrote an article about how often you should test yourself on STD stdrapidtestkits.com/blog/h...
