&lt;h3 style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS THE RAPID HIV BLOOD TEST?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PULSE CLINICS offer 2 options for rapid HIV blood test;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;OPTION 1: HIV Combo&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The Rapid HIV test at PULSE clinic is a combination antigen &amp;amp; antibody 4th generation finger prick blood test. The test is simple and quick, giving accurate results in only 20 minutes. Our rapid combo test detects more acute HIV infections than that of previous 2nd &amp;amp; 3rd generation tests available. This new rapid blood test identifies HIV positive patients earlier within a smaller window period, helping to prevent further transmission during this extremely infectious early stage. This HIV test can be taken from 2 weeks after exposure to the HIV virus and is taken in a completely confidential and discrete environment at all our branches throughout Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;OPTION 2: 3rg generation Rapid HIV Test&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This Rapid HIV test at PULSE clinic is a HIV&amp;nbsp;antibody&amp;nbsp;tests&amp;nbsp;(also called&amp;nbsp;third generation tests). An&amp;nbsp;HIV&amp;nbsp;antibody&amp;nbsp;test&amp;nbsp;looks for these antibodies in your blood, oral fluid or urine. If these antibodies are found, it means that your body is reacting to an&amp;nbsp;HIV&amp;nbsp;infection and that you have&amp;nbsp;HIV. 3rd generation&amp;nbsp;antibody&amp;nbsp;tests&amp;nbsp;have a&amp;nbsp;window period&amp;nbsp;of approximately three to four weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOW DOES THE RAPID HIV TEST WORK?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Just give the finger (LOL). With our sterile finger prick technique, we prick your finger to take a very tiny small amount of blood to perform the HIV test. The blood is then simply transferred onto the portable testing strip kit, providing a result in just 20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing means knowing your HIV status. This is a very important step for anyone wanting to stay healthy and to protect loved ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing is not time-consuming. The tests used by the PULSE CLINICS by PULSE Social Enterprise give results within minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing is not painful. All it takes is a small finger prick. Only a very small amount of blood is needed for the test.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing is done only for HIV. The tests cannot be used to determine whether you take drugs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testing is anonymous. Your identity will not be attached to the test result.&amp;nbsp; The ensuing counseling session is also confidential and your privacy will be guarded and protected at all times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PULSE CLINICS by PULSE Social Enterprise carries out a minimum of five free and confidential HIV Testing Days throughout the year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Know your status. Take the test and take control!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN SHOULD I GET TESTED FOR HIV?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;I HAVE LOW RISK&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Get tested once a year&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;I HAVE HIGH RISK&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Get tested every 3 months, and consider taking &lt;a href=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/prep&quot;&gt;PrEP&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;I MIGHT BE EXPOSED TO HIV&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;HIV screening is all about timing. The right test at the right time means accuracy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your exposure was less than&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;3 days&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ago, see our doctor at the clinic ASAP to immediately discuss if you need emergency pill or&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/pep/&quot;&gt;PEP.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your exposure was&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;7-10 days&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ago, you should do the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HIV RNA PCR&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Results normally take&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;7 working days.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your exposure was&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700 !important;&quot;&gt;14-16 days&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ago, you should do the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700 !important;&quot;&gt;HIV Combo test&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Results normally take&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 700 !important;&quot;&gt;20 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your exposure was at least&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;22-28 days&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ago, you should do the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HIV Antibody&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;test.&amp;nbsp;This test can be easily done at the clinic, it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;takes 20 minutes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Also test for HIV if you develope symptoms of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES, RASHES, SORE THROAT and ENLARGED LYMPH NODES&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Note that these symptoms are not present in everyone with HIV so&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;get tested if you think you are at risk&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;width:100%; overflow-x: scroll;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT INSTRUMENTS USED AT PULSE CLINICS?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;NO! Because we use clean single-use instruments. &lt;br /&gt;Each day, more healthcare professionals are switching from reusable instruments to disposable, single-use ones. There are several reasons why this tendency is growing, and will continue to grow in the years to come. We are one of these leaders. We have been using disposable instruments from cotton, alcohol pad, single-used needles, gloves and we have been using these disposable products in all our branches in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia. If you reallized you concern too much about infection from getting tested at our clinics, do not worry about that we reassure you that what we use here are clean, we are here to protect and safe you from infections not to infect you with any possible infections!!! If you are worried unreasonably and you realize that seeking help from psychiatrist could be helpful, we can give you a list of recommended psychiatrist who will provide high quality non-judgmental non-stigmatizing service in private health care facilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The HIV window period is the time between a potential HIV infection and the time an individual gets tested with an accurate result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The body will produce an immunological response after an HIV infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A HIV test detects specific Antibodies produced when the human body is fighting the virus. The antibodies help indicate the presence of an infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;avia_textblock  &quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Different HIV tests have different HIV window periods, as different tests detect different indicators of HIV infection during the HIV development cycle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;As HIV develops in the human body, HIV antibodies and antigens (protein) will develop too. Different HIV tests thus detect different antibodies at different stages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When a wrong HIV screening is done during the window period, a person can be infected with HIV but the test results may still show negative. This is called a false negative HIV screening result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHOULD I ALSO TEST FOR OTHER STDs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If&amp;nbsp;you have been at risk of HIV exposure then it is very likely that you have been exposed to&amp;nbsp;other STDs. Because of this, we highly recommend that you also screen for other STDs such as Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Hepatitis, Herpes and Warts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TOO WORRIED TO WAIT?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The fastest way to find out if you have been infected with HIV or not is to do the HIV PCR TEST 7-10 days after the potential exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The next earliest accurate test is the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HIV Ag/Ab Combo test&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;at 15-17 days post exposure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;All other HIV tests are subject to a 3 months window period. In other words, you have to wait for 3 months before knowing for sure if you have been infected with HIV or not. In this time, you can potentially spread it to your sexual partners without even realizing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you took&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/pep/&quot;&gt;PEP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;before it is recommended that you consider taking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/prep/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PrEP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;after that for prevention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
