Why Choose Private HIV Testing IN LONDON
Why Choose Private HIV Testing IN LONDON
NHS sexual health services in London face some of the highest demand in the UK. Walk-in clinics can involve long queues, and waiting several days for results is not always practical when you need answers quickly.
Our private London clinic offers same-day appointments as standard. You will see a GMC-registered doctor, not a nurse-led triage. Every consultation is unhurried, non-judgmental and completely confidential. We welcome patients from across London, including the LGBTQ+ community, for whom discreet and expert HIV care is particularly important.
Results are returned within 24 to 48 hours in most cases, and your doctor follows up directly. PEP can be prescribed the same day when time is critical. No referral is needed.
Understanding HIV Tests: WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOUR SITUATION?
Understanding HIV Tests: WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOUR SITUATION?
In London, where testing is readily available but not always timely, understanding your options helps you choose the right test for your circumstances.
The HIV RNA (PCR) test detects infection from around 10 days after exposure and is the recommended option after a recent high-risk event. Confirm a negative result at this stage with a fourth-generation test at 28 days.
The fourth-generation antigen/antibody test is the standard test used at our London clinic and is reliable from 28 days after exposure. It is considered conclusive for most patients at 45 days.
Rapid point-of-care tests return a result within minutes from a finger-prick sample. These are reliable from 28 days and are ideal when speed matters most.
Your doctor will confirm the right test for your timing and circumstances at your appointment.
What Happens if My HIV Test Result Is Positive?
What Happens if My HIV Test Result Is Positive?
A positive result changes things, but it does not define your future. People living with HIV in the UK today, with access to modern antiretroviral treatment, lead long and healthy lives. Many achieve an undetectable viral load and cannot pass HIV on to partners.
At our London clinic, we handle a positive result with complete sensitivity. Your doctor explains everything clearly and without judgment. You will not be left to manage the information alone. We provide immediate support and arrange a prompt referral to specialist HIV services in London where treatment can begin quickly.
Your result is confidential. It is never shared with your GP, employer or anyone else without your explicit consent. We provide compassionate guidance on partner notification for those who want it.
