Having no symptoms does not rule out an infection. Open Help me choose a test, or tell the team when the contact happened and which body sites were involved, so you can agree the appropriate samples and timing. For a possible HIV exposure within 72 hours, seek immediate PEP assessment. For an urgent online PEP consultation with infectious disease specialist Dr Ivaylo Pakov, use Healee.
