Best Answer

A person can carry a STD for years without knowing they are infected.
Likely enough that he should be tested.
Yes it is possible to take longer than 2 months for symptoms to appear, but generally it is within 30 days. Some never have symptoms, which is called asymptomatic.
A sexually transmitted desease can lay dormant for over three years.

You can get tested now, and retested as needed based on your sexual history, for those STDs that have tests available. It's not likely that someone can tell you that you don't have herpes, and there's no commercially available test for HPV. So you can no some things, but you will never "know you don't have STDs." It's not possible to know.

How long can you have chlamydia before giving it to your partner?

You can have chlamydia for years without knowing, but it can be spread during this time. Each time you have sex, there is about a 40% chance of transmitting chlamydia. The chances of having sex ten times without transmitting the infection are very small -- about 6 in 1000.It's important to remember, though, that the person who gets chlamydia may have no symptoms either. In women, 80-90% have no symptoms, and half of men don't have symptoms. Your health care provider can't tell you how long you've had chlamydia. It's not unusual for someone to enter a relationship with chlamydia, and for neither partner to know they're infected until they are screened.For that reason, you should get tested for STDs whenever you have a new partner.Yes, you can get chlamydia, or first get chlamydia symptoms, four months after your partner did.
