Are there STDs that don't have symptoms? When do symptoms appear usually?
Are there any STDs that don't show signs or symptoms after you've contracted it/them? I know about HIV or AIDs or whatever not showing up for awhile but that's the only thing I heard about (and I don't even know if THAT is true). Also, how long does it take for symptoms of STDs to show usually?

I am a 25 yr old nursing student who just gave an extensive presentation on STDs, so I promise you I'm not giving you bogus advice. The basic answer is yes, there are a number of STDs that don't have any symptoms or their symptoms are so vauge they can often go unnoticed. If you are a female, it's very possible to get either chlamydia or syphillis and not have any symptoms at all, until it's too late and you become infertile. Being a male,it's also possible, but there is usually a nasty discharge that's a telltale sign. A great source for more information is your county health department. Not only will they give you more information on specific STDs but they also test for STDs for cheap. HIV/AIDS (which are different) can lie dormant for up to six years, that is VERY true. If it's still too embarassing to talk to someone, Google specific STDs or Google top STDs in the nation to get the basics. Good luck to you.
