Questions you would rather Google than ask out loud.
That is fine. Start here.
Can I get rapid HIV testing in Wellington?
Yes. A Wellington healthcare provider offers rapid HIV testing, with results typically available in about 15 minutes.
Does “15-minute HIV test” mean it can detect HIV 15 minutes after sex?
No. The 15 minutes refers to how quickly the result is read. HIV tests have window periods after exposure before they can reliably detect infection.
Can I have an STI with no symptoms?
Yes. Many STIs can be asymptomatic. Feeling normal does not rule one out.
How soon after sex should I get tested?
It depends on the infection and test. Some tests can be too early right after exposure. Tell the clinician when the exposure happened so they can plan the right timing.
What if I may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours?
Seek medical care promptly and ask about PEP. PEP must be started within 72 hours, and sooner is better.
What is the difference between PrEP and PEP?
PrEP is ongoing prevention before potential HIV exposure. PEP is emergency prevention after a possible exposure.
Does Get Tested PB collect my medical information?
No. Get Tested PB does not host a medical intake form. Appointment buttons take you to an independent provider's website.
