No, there is not a requirement for a comma to come after the word since in a sentence.
More importantly, make sure you are being accurate when using the word since. Many people mistakenly substitute since for because, most likely due to being told to never begin a sentence with the word because.
Since indicates a passage of time:
"It has been three years since I have seen you."
Because indicates a reason:
"It has been three years since I have seen you because I moved to a different state."
Note, too, that you can rearrange that sentence so that it begins with the word because:
"Because I moved to a different state, it has been three years since I have seen you."
Many times when we're just learning the rules of grammer, our teachers tell us not to start a sentence with it because it always begins a dependent clause. As long as you complete the thought, you're OK.

How would you see if a sentence had a comma splice?
If a sentence consists of two independent clauses with a comma between them, it is a comma splice.

If there is no punctuation there instead of a comma, it is known as a run-on sentence.
