&lt;h2 data-path-to-node=&quot;112&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frequently asked questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I need an appointment for an STD test in Thailand?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Not at all! Walk-ins are always welcome at all PULSE Clinic locations across Thailand. However, if you prefer a quick, seamless visit with minimal waiting time, you can easily book online or message our team in advance to reserve your preferred time slot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How should I prepare for my PCR test?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Fasting is not required, so you can eat and drink normally before coming in. For urine samples, please avoid urinating for at least 1 hour prior to your test. For semen samples, please refrain from ejaculation or any sexual activity for 2 to 7 days before providing your specimen. Swab samples don&#39;t require any special preparation, and our clinic staff will guide you through every step when you arrive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How soon after exposure can I get tested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The ideal timing depends on the specific infection you wish to screen for. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea PCR testing is commonly recommended around 14 days post-exposure for accurate asymptomatic screening. An HIV 4th generation test provides conclusive results around 45 days post-exposure, while blood tests for syphilis and viral hepatitis typically require up to 3 months for reliable detection. Please note that if you are currently experiencing symptoms or know you have been exposed, you should not wait out these window periods and should visit our doctors right away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does the PCR 28 test include HIV or Hepatitis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No, it does not. HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C require separate blood investigations. While the PCR 28 panel detects the syphilis bacterium (&lt;em&gt;Treponema pallidum&lt;/em&gt;) from an open sore or swab, standard blood testing remains the most reliable method for syphilis screening. Our doctors can easily combine all necessary blood tests and PCR panels for you in a single visit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is a urine PCR test just as accurate as a swab?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes, for urogenital infections, a urine PCR test is exceptionally accurate when collected properly. However, urine cannot detect infections localised to other anatomical sites. Depending on the type of sexual contact you have had, our doctors may recommend a throat or rectal swab alongside urine collection to ensure complete, full-body protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are my test results kept confidential?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Absolutely yes. Patient privacy is our highest priority. Your medical records and test results are strictly confidential, delivered safely to your designated email, and accessible anytime via the encrypted PULSE Online Portal (POP) or the E-Doc mobile app.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
