STDs can show up with in days or not at all. You can be a carrier for an STD and have no sign of an infection. This is why if sexually active; have multiple partners, you should be checked regularly for STDs as well as your partners.
You should also learn how to protect yourself from STDS and learn which STDs you cannot protect yourself from and how to avoid infection. Did you know that the HPV virus infects men as well as women. Check with your doctor to see if you are within the age range for the HPV inoculations. ]
From as little as a couple days to as much as ten years.
Some people, men and women, never show symptoms at all... they just go around infecting everyone who has sex with them.
Get tested no matter what. And make sure you have anyone you are getting together with tested BEFORE you have sex.
Couple other notes:
Herpes and HPV (warts/cancer) are NOT stopped by condoms.
There are no common tests for HPV in men. ]
