&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Rapid HIV Test - Fast and accurate HIV test in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui (Thailand)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Rapid HIV tests are a quick, easy, and affordable option for HIV tests. Getting an HIV test is an important part of taking care of your sexual health, as it helps you manage your risk and know your status. PULSE Clinic offers two types of rapid HIV tests for accurate and fast results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV Combo Rapid Test&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;: This finger-prick blood test combines the 4th generation&amp;rsquo;s antigen and antibody for improved detection. It provides accurate results in just 20 minutes and can identify HIV infections earlier than previous-generation tests, helping to prevent transmission during the highly infectious early stage. The test should be taken at least 2 weeks after possible exposure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3rd Generation Rapid HIV Test&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;: This test detects specific antibodies in blood, oral fluid, or urine, with a window period of 3-4 weeks. It identifies whether your body is producing antibodies in response to an HIV infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;All tests are conducted confidentially and discreetly at PULSE Clinic locations in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Malaysia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are Rapid HIV Tests?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Rapid HIV tests (point-of-care tests) are fast, accurate HIV tests that give results within minutes. This kind of test can be conducted in a doctor&amp;rsquo;s office or community setting, these tests use a small blood sample or oral fluid. Detects HIV antibodies produced during early &amp;lsquo;seroconversion&amp;rsquo; and provides quick results. No specialized lab equipment needed, with results available in just a few minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Does the Rapid HIV Test Work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Your blood sample is taken from a sterile finger with a finger-prick device in a very small amount. Place the blood inside the test kit and the results will be ready in 20 minutes. Most rapid HIV tests detect antibodies produced by the body in response to HIV infection, unlike laboratory tests like PCR RNA tests which detect the genetic materials of the HIV itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Get an HIV Rapid Test at PULSE?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;99.91-100%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;HIV Antibody 1/2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;At least &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;100%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;97.20-99.30%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;At least &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;99.76-100%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;20 min&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;HIV PCR RNA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;At least &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;95.00%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;99.00%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;10 days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Accuracy is measured by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sensitivity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;, which is the percentage of correct positive results when HIV is present, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;specificity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;, which is the percentage of correct negative results when HIV is not present. The higher these numbers, the more accurate the test is for detecting HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How often should you get tested for HIV?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If your risk is low, it&amp;rsquo;s recommended to get tested once a year. For higher-risk individuals, testing every 3 months is advised, and consider taking PrEP. The timing of the test is crucial if you&amp;rsquo;ve been exposed to HIV to ensure accurate results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If exposure was within 3 days, see a doctor immediately to discuss whether you need emergency HIV PEP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If exposure was 7-10 days ago, take the HIV RNA PCR test, with results available in 7 working days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;For exposure 14-16 days ago, take the HIV Combo test, with results available in 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If it&amp;rsquo;s been at least 22-28 days, take the HIV Antibody test, with results in 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re experiencing symptoms like fever, muscle pain, rashes, sore throat, or swollen lymph nodes, it&amp;rsquo;s important to get tested. Keep in mind, some people may not show symptoms, so testing is recommended whenever there&amp;rsquo;s a potential risk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feeling anxious while waiting?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The earliest you can get tested is 7-10 days after potential exposure using the HIV PCR test. The next option is the HIV Ag/Ab Combo test, which can be done 15-17 days post-exposure. For all other HIV tests, you&amp;rsquo;ll need to wait 3 months before getting accurate results. During this period, you could unknowingly pass the infection to sexual partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;HIV PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is an effective way to reduce the risk of HIV infection after potential exposure. If you&#39;ve taken HIV PEP, consider starting HIV PrEP for ongoing prevention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should I be worried about getting tested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s no need to worry, as all devices used are clean and discarded after each use. More healthcare professionals are moving from reusable to disposable tools for added safety. At PULSE Clinic, we use disposable items like cotton, alcohol pads, single-use needles, and gloves at all our branches in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Our priority is to ensure your safety and provide top-quality care. If you&#39;re still feeling anxious, you can seek support from a psychiatrist, and PULSE can connect you with experienced professionals who offer confidential, non-judgmental, and stigma-free services in private healthcare settings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the Relationship Between the Window Period and HIV Test Accuracy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The window period for HIV testing refers to the time between potential exposure to the virus and when testing can yield an accurate result. After exposure, the body begins to mount an immune response, producing specific antibodies that HIV test kits detect. Different HIV tests identify various indicators of infection, such as antibodies and antigens, which appear at different stages of infection. If testing is done too early, it can result in a false negative, where a person infected with HIV receives an incorrect negative result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Should I get tested for other STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;ve been exposed to HIV, the risk of contracting other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is also high. Therefore, we recommend getting tested for additional STDs, such as Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Hepatitis, Herpes, and Warts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
