## Questions and Answers

 
### Are the counselling and test anonymous?

 

Yes.

   
### How long do I have to wait before I can be tested after unprotected sexual contact?

 

Six weeks after the risk contact is sufficient for HIV, for other tests it may be a little longer. You will receive further information during a personal consultation.  


   
### When can I take a rapid HIV test?

 

A rapid test can be carried out twelve weeks after the last risk contact. This so-called diagnostic gap is 12 weeks for the rapid HIV test and 6 weeks for the conventional HIV laboratory test after a risk contact. A reactive HIV rapid test result must be checked by a confirmatory test from venous blood.  


   
### What does rapid mean?

 

The term "rapid" in the HIV rapid test only means that the result is available more quickly after the blood sample is taken than with the conventional laboratory test, but not that you can be tested more quickly for a risk.  


   
### Which diseases can I be tested for?

 

Depending on the risk profile: HIV, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, C, chlamydia, gonorrhoea  


   
### How long does it take for the test result to be available?

 

HIV, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, C tests: approx. 5 working days  
 Chlamydia and gonorrhoea tests: approx. 10 working days  
 HIV rapid test: approx. 30 minutes  


   
### Can I ask for the test result over the phone or do I have to collect it in person?

 

You can also request the test result by telephone.  


   
### Do I have to pay for the counselling or test?

 

No, the entire service, including the counselling and tests, is free of charge.   
 Exception: HIV rapid test on request (costs 26 euros)  


   
### Do I have to be sober for the tests?
