I think I may have put myself at risk, should I get a test right away?

If you believe you may be at risk it is advised that you get tested as soon as possible. All of the infections we test for have different window periods (the time from exposure to the point at which an accurate result can be achieved).Our tests are highly accurate after the following window periods:

  • Chlamydia: from 2 weeks
  • Gonorrhoea: from 2 weeks
  • HIV: from 4 weeks
  • Syphilis: from 3 months
  • Hepatitis B: from 3 months
  • Hepatitis C: from 3 months

The tests you are offered will depend on local restrictions and risk.
