Private HIV testing begins with the right advice at the right time. You may be testing after a possible exposure, because of a concern, before a new relationship, or as part of routine screening.
Timing matters
Different HIV tests have different window periods. A result taken too early may need follow-up. Tell your clinician about recent exposure, previous tests and any PEP or PrEP use.
