If you think you are at risk of HIV infection, the best step is to seek medical advice and get tested. The earlier you diagnose HIV, the earlier you can start treatment and prevent becoming ill. It may take about two weeks after exposure to HIV for your test to give an accurate result.
At Sexual Health Clinic London, we offer private, discreet, and reliable HIV testing for your peace of mind.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) suppresses the cells in the immune system. If untreated, HIV can result inAIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV has no cure,and once infected, HIV remains in the body for life.
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 certain you do not have HIV.
You can visit our clinic as early as ten days after a potential exposure. It is advisable to get an HIV test if you:
Timely testing is vital,and 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 treatment can lead to early treatment, which positively impacts health outcomes and reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to other people. Getting tested is a responsible step towards protecting your health and contributes to public health efforts to reduce the spread of HIV.
HIV testing doesn't require any special preparation. However, ensure you are well-hydrated and have eaten before your test. Bringing a means of identification and any medical history information is also necessary.
Depending on the type of test, a healthcare provider will draw a blood sample from your arm or a finger prick. Some tests may involve taking a swab of your mouth. Our highly trained and skilled healthcare professionals will ensure the procedure is quick and doesn't cause discomfort.
Results range from rapid, available within a few minutes, to those available after a few days, depending on the testing methods.
Regardless of the outcome of your result, we will provide the necessary guidance and support, from further testing to treatment and resources. Our services are also confidential, and we are available to offer you support and professional care.

People with HIV may experience flu-like symptoms for 2 – 4 weeks after getting infected. People taking HIV medications may not experience other 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 may occur.
Untreated HIV eventually develops into AIDS within 8 – 10 years.
HIV can spread through:
People infected with HIV may not experience symptoms for as long as ten years. The most common HIV symptom is seroconversion illness. This is a brief phase of flu-like symptoms that occur within 2 – 4 weeks after getting the virus, but some people do not experience this symptom.
HIV spreads through sexual intercourse, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. In the UK, the most common way people get HIV is through vaginal or anal sex without using a condom.
HIV also spreads through sharing needles and undergoing surgical procedures in a country with low sterilisation standards. 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. HIV cannot be gotten from sweat, urine, or saliva.
Private HIV testing offers different options designed to meet your testing needs. Available options include:
STD tests are highly accurate, so a false result is unlikely. However, STD tests may give false positive results typically on two occasions:
At Sexual Health Clinic London, our standard protocol is for all HIV positive samples to be re-tested under a specific, detailed panel. Your doctor will discuss this with you if required.
