What is a Rapid HIV Blood Test?


A rapid HIV blood test is a quick and efficient method to detect HIV infection by analyzing a small blood sample. These tests are designed to deliver accurate results within minutes, making them an ideal option for those seeking fast and confidential HIV testing.

PULSE CLINICS offers two reliable options for rapid HIV testing:

OPTION 1: HIV Combo The rapid HIV test at PULSE Clinic is a combination antigen and 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 & 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, Pattaya, Phuket, Singapore, Hong KongPhilippines and Malaysia.

OPTION 2: 3rg generation Rapid HIV Test This Rapid HIV test at PULSE clinic is a HIV antibody tests (also called third generation tests). An HIV antibody test 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 HIV infection and that you have HIV. 3rd generation antibody tests have a window period of approximately three to four weeks.

When Should You Test for HIV?


I HAVE LOW RISK: Get tested once a year
I HAVE HIGH RISK:Get tested every 3 months, and consider taking PrEP.
I MIGHT BE EXPOSED TO HIV: HIV screening is all about timing. The right test at the right time means accuracy.

  • If your exposure was less than 3 days ago, see our doctor at the clinic ASAP to immediately discuss if you need an emergency pill or HIV PEP.
  • If your exposure was 7-10 days ago, you should do the HIV RNA PCR. Results normally take 7 working days. 
  • If your exposure was 14-16 days ago, you should do the HIV Combo test. Results normally take 20 minutes. 
  • If your exposure was at least 22-28 days ago, you should do the HIV Antibody test. This test can be easily done at the clinic, it takes 20 minutes.

If you experience symptoms like fever, muscle aches, rashes, sore throat, or enlarged lymph nodes, it's important to consider an HIV test. However, keep in mind that not everyone with HIV shows these signs. If you believe you may have been exposed to HIV or are at risk, it's crucial to get tested, even if you don't have symptoms. Early detection is key to managing and preventing further transmission of the virus.


Is It Safe to Get Tested at PULSE CLINICS?


Absolutely! At PULSE CLINICS, we use clean, sterile, and single-use instruments for every test. As part of a growing trend in healthcare, we prioritize disposable instruments like cotton, alcohol pads, needles, and gloves to ensure the highest level of safety. This practice is followed at all our branches in Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.

If you're concerned about the risk of infection from testing, rest assured that we take every precaution to protect you, not expose you. We understand that some people may have excessive worries about infection. If you feel these concerns are overwhelming, we can recommend compassionate mental health professionals who offer private, non-judgmental support.

HIV Test Accuracy and Window Period


The HIV window period is the time between potential HIV exposure and when a test can provide an accurate result. During this time, the body begins to produce an immune response to the virus, specifically HIV antibodies. An HIV test detects these antibodies, indicating the presence of an infection. Understanding the window period is essential for ensuring accurate testing and early detection of HIV.

 

The Importance of HIV Window Periods


Different HIV tests have different HIV window periods, as different tests detect different indicators of HIV infection during the HIV development cycle.

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.

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.

 

Should I Also Test for Other STDs?


If you have been at risk of HIV exposure then it is very likely that you have been exposed to other STDs. Because of this, we highly recommend that you also screen for other STDs such as Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Hepatitis, Herpes and Warts.

 

Too Worried to Wait?


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. The next earliest accurate test is the HIV Ag/Ab Combo test at 15-17 days post-exposure. 
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. You can potentially spread it to your sexual partners during this time without even realizing it.
If you took HIV PEP before it is recommended that you consider taking HIV PrEP after that for prevention.
