NHS sex soreness after sex advice bleeding when to seek help
Having sex 6 times in a day can leave you tired, dehydrated, or sore. Take a break, drink fluids, and avoid more sex until any genital soreness settles. Use lubricant next time if friction was uncomfortable.
If pregnancy is possible and contraception failed or was not used, consider emergency contraception as soon as possible. If condoms were not used with a new or untested partner, arrange STI testing.
Seek urgent care for severe pain, heavy or persistent bleeding, fainting, fever, genital swelling, trouble urinating, or chest pain. Bleeding after sex should be assessed by a clinician or sexual-health clinic, particularly if it recurs, as NHS guidance explains.
Are you worried about soreness/injury, pregnancy risk, STI exposure, or something else?

CDC STI testing window periods after unprotected sex chlamydia gonorrhea HIV syphilis hepatitis B
Get tested now or as soon as you can for a baseline, especially if you have symptoms or do not know your partner’s STI status. But a test done immediately after exposure can miss infections acquired from that encounter, so repeat testing is often needed.
Practical timing after unprotected sex
| Infection/test | When to test |
|---|---|
| Chlamydia and gonorrhea | About 7-14 days after exposure. Test urine/genital sites, plus throat or rectum if those sites were involved. |
| Trichomoniasis | About 1 week after exposure, with repeat testing around 1 month if an early test is negative but concern remains. |
| HIV | Test now for baseline. A lab-based antigen/antibody blood test is most reliable about 45 days (6 weeks) after exposure. Earlier RNA testing may detect infection sooner if a clinician thinks it is indicated. |
| Syphilis | Test now for baseline and repeat at around 6 weeks and 3 months if exposure risk was significant. |
| Hepatitis B/C | Ask for testing if your partner might have either infection, especially if there was anal sex, blood exposure, or injection-drug exposure. Check whether you are vaccinated against hepatitis B. |
If it has been 72 hours or less and there is a possible HIV exposure, go to an emergency department, sexual-health clinic, or urgent-care service today to ask about HIV PEP, medication that can reduce the chance of HIV after an exposure. Do not wait for test results.
Get examined now if you have discharge, burning when urinating, genital sores/rash, pelvic or testicular pain, fever, or bleeding. Some STIs have no symptoms. CDC recommends testing at the anatomical sites involved in sex, such as throat or rectum, when relevant, as noted in its STI screening guidance. HIV testing can be negative very early after exposure, and CDC advises HIV RNA testing and repeat testing when acute infection is suspected after a recent exposure, as described in the CDC HIV guidance.
If pregnancy is possible, emergency contraception is time-sensitive and may be effective up to 3-5 days after sex, depending on the method.
