STDs wont be found till you keep getting check ups

Can there be a chance HIV/AIDS/STDs wont be found till you keep getting check ups?
I have a question, I have been doing researches and I wonder, even if you stopped having sex, but still had check ups every 6 months, and found negative, would there be a possiblity that they won't find out till later of years or months? And if you get inffected by HIV/AIDS/STDs can they find it in your blood right away when you get a check up?

i believe it's 2 months before you test positive for hiv. it depends on which std you have to detect in the blood. usually, they count white blood cells in the blood among other things for stds. for hiv, ELISA is the most widely used screening test. and now they have something called a tri-dot test that's almost instant. even if you come out positive in these, diagnosis needs to be confirmed by something called Western Blot. your doctor's office should have access to all of this. good luck.

Good question If you've been noticing something unusual dont be shy go see a gynecologist. And ask for a pelvic exam. Regular STD tests dont take long to get the results back, but HIV takes 2 months. If you're asking if it could be "missed" as in the doctor doesn't catch it, I highly doubt it.

if you still get checkups every six months that are negative, for say a year and a half, then it is very unlikely that you have hiv; in order for hiv antibodies to show up in your blood, it usually takes 2-6 months

HIV is unlikely if you've tested negative for a year or longer. that is because it takes that long for your white blood cells to get that hammered by teh replicating HIV. if you're under 30, they won't do a routine HPV DNA test on you. they'll do a pap and if they miss any abnormal cells, you could be at risk for cervical cancer. INSIST on a DNA test for HPV. they claim that because women under 30 most often fight off this virus on their own that we don't need the test, but i just had stage 3 HPV on my cervix and in a little longer it would have been cancer. i'm 28. i had been concerned about only getting a pap for years, but they never took me seriously. if your doc won't take you seriously, find a new one, because cancer is no joke and i've heard of 17-yr-olds getting it. also, if you're under 26, you can get the guardasil shots to give you immunity against 4 of the most common, worst HPV strains, including the one i have. btw- HPV is a skin virus and won't show up ever in yoru blood.
