How soon do STI symptoms appear?

It depends on which sexually transmitted infection (STI) you have. See types of STIs here

Symptoms can develop within a few days or weeks, but sometimes they do not appear until months or even years later.

Often there are few or no symptoms and you may not know you have an STI.

The only way to be sure if you have an STI is to get tested.

If you think you or your partner may have an STI, go to a health facility for a free and confidential test and check-up.
