Tested too soon? You may need to test again.

HIV tests don’t detect infection immediately.
There is a window period where results may not be accurate yet.

If you’ve had a recent exposure:
• Get tested now
• Follow up after the window period
• Stay informed about your health

PCS offers free, confidential HIV testing and support to help you know when to test.

What is the HIV “window period”?

The window period is the time between a possible exposure to HIV and when a test can accurately detect it.

During this time:
âś” You may test negative
âś” But still have HIV
âś” And could pass it to others

That’s why follow-up testing is important after a recent exposure.

If you’re unsure, we’re here to help you understand your next steps.

Hep C awareness matters.

If you’re a man who has s*x with men, it’s important to include Hepatitis C (Hep C) in your routine health check.

Many people with Hep C:
âś” Have no symptoms
✔ Don’t know they have it
âś” Can benefit from early testing and treatment

Taking care of your health includes knowing your status.

PCS offers free, confidential Hep C testing in a respectful, judgment-free environment.

Myth: “If I feel fine, I don’t need testing.”
Fact: Many STIs can have no symptoms at all.

You can feel healthy and still have an infection without knowing it.

That’s why routine HIV & STI testing is important — it helps you stay informed and take control of your health.

Testing = knowledge. Knowledge = power.
