&lt;h2&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 Phuket?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No, an appointment is not required, and walk-ins are welcome at our Phuket branches. You can also book online or contact our team beforehand to confirm the test, sample collection, and your preferred time.&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 PCR testing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You do not need to fast. For a urine sample, please avoid urinating for at least one hour beforehand. For a semen sample, please avoid ejaculation for 2 to 3 days. Our staff will give you clear instructions on the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How soon after unprotected sex can I get tested?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For chlamydia and gonorrhoea PCR, we recommend testing at least 14 days after exposure. Other infections have different window periods. For example, the HIV 4th generation test gives a conclusive result at about 45 days, and syphilis and hepatitis blood tests may need up to 3 months. If you have symptoms or a known exposure, please seek medical advice promptly and do not wait.&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. HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are diagnosed with separate blood tests. The PCR 28 panel does detect the syphilis bacterium, but it is most useful on a swab from a sore, and blood tests remain the standard way to screen for syphilis. Our team can arrange the right combination of tests at one 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 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;For infections of the urethra, urine PCR is highly accurate when the sample is collected correctly. However, a urine test cannot reliably rule out infections in other places. A throat or rectal swab may be needed, depending on the type of sexual contact you have had.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long do PCR results take?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Standard results are ready in 7 days. You can choose 3-day, next-day, or same-day results for an additional fee. Same-day results need the sample to be taken at the clinic before noon. Results are sent to your email and can be viewed on the PULSE Online Portal and the E-Doc app.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is my result confidential?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes. Your results are shared only with you, through the email address you provide and our secure online portal. Please ask our team if you would like to know how your results will be delivered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Book your STD test in Phuket&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Taking care of your sexual health is a responsible and positive step for yourself and your partners.
