The stuff people actually Google at 1 AM
Fast answers. No doom-scrolling required.
Use these as a starting point, then talk to a healthcare professional when you need individual advice.
1
I feel fine. Do I still need a test?
Maybe. Many STIs can cause no symptoms at all. Testing can make sense after a possible exposure, with a new partner, or as part of routine sexual health.
2
Can I test the day after sex?
Sometimes that is too early. Different infections and test types have different detection windows. See the testing-timing guide.
3
Possible HIV exposure in the last 72 hours?
Do not wait for a test or symptoms. PEP is time-sensitive and should be started as soon as possible.
GOOD TO KNOW
“Rapid” means fast results — not instant detection after exposure.
A rapid HIV test may return a result in about 15 minutes, but there is still a window period after exposure when an infection may not yet be detectable.

What do you need right now?
Choose the situation closest to yours. You do not need to know the name of every test before asking for care.

PrEP & PEP
PrEP is ongoing HIV prevention. PEP is an emergency option after a possible exposure and has a 72-hour deadline.

Common infections people test for.
What gets tested depends on your situation, exposure sites, symptoms and medical history. A clinician can help choose the right tests.

Timing matters
Three situations. Three different next moves.
LAST 72 HOURSPossible HIV exposure
Seek care now and ask about PEP. CDC guidance says PEP must be started within 72 hours, and sooner is better.

Some tests can be too early immediately after exposure. Tell the clinician when it happened so timing and repeat testing can be planned correctly.
See testing windows →ROUTINE CARENo symptoms, just being smart
Routine screening is normal. Many infections are asymptomatic, so feeling fine does not always mean there is nothing to test for.

Short answers to awkward questions.
Is rapid HIV testing available in Wellington?
Yes. A Wellington healthcare provider currently offers rapid HIV testing. Availability can change, so confirm through the provider when requesting your visit.
How fast are rapid HIV results?
The local provider describes rapid HIV results in roughly 10–20 minutes; Get Tested PB summarizes that as about 15 minutes. The result time is different from the test's window period after exposure.
Can I have an STI and feel completely normal?
Yes. Many STIs can be asymptomatic, which is why testing can be useful even if you feel fine.
What if I think I was exposed to HIV yesterday?
Seek medical care now and ask about PEP. Do not wait for symptoms or for a test to become positive. PEP must be started within 72 hours of a possible exposure.
