Quick STD testing question

[isee23s.livejournal.com]

Hey all-

I was wondering if any of you had a handy online resource that lists the safest testing windows for STD's? That is, when you can trust the tests to be as accurate as possible after potential exposure? I'm trying to advise a friend who's potentially taking on a new partner, but I'm getting my information all jumbled (it's been a while since I've thought about this personally). I see a a range of suggestions upon Googling and I trust y'all to have a resource I can trust.

FWIW, the friend in question has a penis, but is curious about both themselves and their vagina-owning new partner.

Thanks!

My Surgical Aspiration Abortion

[beschattet.livejournal.com]

I made a frantic post here on Friday, just hours after discovering I was pregnant. My decision to have an abortion had pretty much been made years ago, when I decided that I never wanted to have kids, but I was scared about the procedure itself. Thankfully, this community is full of wonderful people who are full of advice and compassion.

My aspiration abortion was today at 10AM, and I wanted to post the details here, not just so the people who helped me will know how it went, but in the hopes that the next time someone comes here looking for answers, my story might help them in some way. Please note, though, that my abortion ended up being more complicated than anyone expected, and that my experience was not the norm. However, I feel it's important for other people to know what could happen under certain circumstances.

( WARNING: My abortion was very complicated. The details are scary and triggering. )
