I am a new hobbiest. I want to take all the necessary precautions and be tested for STD How soon after an appointment should I be tested? Next day, a few days later, a week? I really don't know. Thanks.

Call your local clinic or family doctor and ask them what their opinion would be on how how long to wait before coming in. This is a tricky one because different STD's have different window periods of exposure as to when they show up in testing. Some show up in as little as 2 days and some take as long as 6 months to get a conclusive answer.
i dont think you need to get test 'x days after a session' just get tested at a regular interval. if you dont have sypmtoms of anything...getting tested every 3-6 months should be fine.
women often times show no symptoms...
men...usualy do

Get tested, live a life of celibacy and abstinence for 7 years per the gestation period, get tested again, and then your good to go.
