Frequently asked questions
How long after exposure should I test?
Timing varies by infection. Some tests detect infection within weeks, while others may need a few months. Ask your clinician when to test for your situation.
Does a positive result mean I have the infection?
Not always. Screening tests can have false positives, so a clinician may order a confirmatory test before making any conclusion.
Can I get these viruses from non-sexual contact?
Some, such as hepatitis B and C, can spread through blood exposure. Others, like HIV and HSV, mainly spread through sexual contact or direct contact with infected fluids.
Is my test result private?
Yes. Medical test results are protected health information and are kept confidential under privacy laws.
