Medical window-period guide

Standard clinical testing milestones counted from the day of exposure.

  1. 🚨 72 hours for emergency HIV pills

    Day 1-3

    If you had a recent high-risk exposure, emergency HIV pills (PEP) may help if a clinic starts them within 72 hours. Go as soon as you can.

  2. ⏰ Day 14: Bacterial screening

    Day 14

    Optimal window period to test for gonorrhea and chlamydia via urine or swab test. This is when bacterial accuracy peaks.

  3. 🩸 Day 30: Early blood test

    Day 30

    Recommended timeframe for a 4th-generation HIV antibody/antigen combo test and syphilis screening for peace of mind.

  4. ✅ Day 90: Final confirmation

    Day 90

    A later confirmatory test is often used after the window period. No single timeline guarantees a result — ask a clinic. This is also a common time to ask about daily HIV pills (PrEP).
