If you believe you are a risk for HIV infection, your best option is to seek medical advice and get tested. The earlier the diagnosis of HIV, the earlier you can start treatment and prevent being ill.
It may take up to two weeks after exposure of HIV for an accurate test result.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) suppresses the cells in the immune system. If untreated, HIV can result in AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Unfortunately there is no known cure once you’re infected with HIV as the virus remains in the body but it is now a manageable condition on medications which you will continue to take.
You should get tested for HIV if you suspect you are at risk of carrying the virus or if you are worried and need to be reassured you do not have HIV.
You can visit our clinic as early as ten days after a potential exposure. It is advisable to have a HIV test if you:
Timely testing is vital, as early treatment can significantly affect treatment and management.
Knowing whether or not you have HIV is important for your health and also to protect others. Early HIV diagnosis and early treatment will positively impact your health outcome and reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to others. Getting tested is a responsible step towards protecting your health and contributes to reducing the spread of HIV to others.
People with HIV may experience flu-like symptoms for 2 – 4 weeks following infection.
HIV medications control symptoms for years. However, as the infection progresses and the virus multiplies (destroying the immune cells), symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes increasingly occur over time.
Untreated HIV eventually can develop into AIDS often within 8 – 10 years.
Modes of HIV spread:
The only difference between the Platinum Screen and Gold packages is an additional human papillomavirus (HPV) swab test which includes 16, 18 and high-risk strains in the Platinum Screen but they are basically the same. Please speak to our team for further advice which is best for your situation.

People infected with HIV may not have any symptoms for at least ten years.
The most common HIV symptom is sero-conversion illness. This is a brief phase of flu-like symptoms that occurs within 2 – 4 weeks after being infected with the virus, however some people are asymptomatic.
HIV spreads through sexual intercourse, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. In the UK, the most common route is via unprotected vaginal or anal sex (without using a condom).
HIV also spreads by sharing needles and undergoing surgical procedures in a country with low sterilisation methods. A mother can also transmit the virus to her baby during childbirth or breastfeeding.
HIV remains in the bodily fluids of an infected person, such as breast milk, blood, and anal and vaginal fluid. The virus cannot survive outside the body. You cannot acquire HIV from sweat, urine, or saliva.
We offer private HIV testing. Different options are designed to meet your testing needs. Available options include:
It usually takes at least 28 days following exposure for the standard HIV test to detect the virus in the blood.
STD tests are highly accurate, so a false result is highly unlikely. However, STI tests may give false positive results typically on two occasions:
You took the test before the incubation period passed:
To prevent this, ensure you check the 'accurate from date' for each test.
The test was taken incorrectly:
If you took the test at home, ensure you follow the instructions. If you are unsure how to take the test, contact our team or schedule an appointment at the clinic where a specially trained nurse will take the test for you.
At Sexual Health Clinic London, our standard protocol is for all HIV positive samples to be re-tested under a specific, detailed panel. On appointment our doctor will discuss this with you and give advice and guidance on what you need, if anything, to do next.
