If the exposure was in the last 72 hours, read this first
A test is not what you need yet. If you have had a high risk exposure within the last 72 hours, the time critical action is post exposure prophylaxis, known as PEP, which is a course of medication that can prevent HIV taking hold. It works best the sooner it is started and it is not useful after 72 hours. PEP is available free on the NHS. Go to an NHS sexual health service, or to an emergency department outside their hours, and say you need PEP. Do not wait for a test result, and do not wait for an appointment with us.
SAME DAY HIV TESTING IN LEICESTER
When the test becomes reliable
28 days after the exposure. Before that a negative result cannot be relied on, because the test looks for your body’s response and that takes time to appear. Testing at a week is the commonest mistake people make, and a negative then means very little.
Booking in Leicester
Same day appointments are usually available, and no referral is needed. You do not have to be registered with a local NHS practice or live locally.
Getting your results
Next day. Someone talks you through them rather than emailing a figure.
What the HIV test looks for IN LEICESTER
- The test we use detects HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen. The antigen appears earlier than antibodies, which is why a combined test becomes reliable sooner than an antibody only test would.
- What a negative result at 28 days means. It is a reliable negative for that exposure. If you have had a further risk since, that starts a new window.
- What a positive result means now. Modern HIV treatment is a tablet, usually once a day. People diagnosed and treated promptly have a normal life expectancy and become untransmittable to partners. A positive result today is a manageable long term condition, not what it was thirty years ago, and we will say so and arrange specialist care the same week.
Confidential HIV testing IN LEICESTER
- On being seen. De Montfort Street is a general medical location, not a signed sexual health service. Nobody in the waiting area knows why anyone else is there.
- On your records. They stay with us. Nothing is passed to your NHS GP unless you specifically ask us to.
- On insurance and employment. A private HIV test is not reportable to anyone. If you are worried about disclosure on an insurance application, that is worth asking about before you test rather than afterwards.

Then you need PEP, not a test. Go to an NHS sexual health service, or an emergency department outside their hours, and ask for post exposure prophylaxis. It is free, it is time critical, and it stops working after 72 hours.
The next day.
We are on De Montfort Street in the professional quarter, a few minutes on foot from London Road station and around the corner from Victoria Park. It is a general medical location rather than a signed sexual health service.
We explain it and arrange specialist care the same week. Modern treatment is usually one tablet a day, life expectancy is normal with prompt treatment, and effective treatment makes the virus untransmittable to partners.
No, and you do not need to live locally.
28 days. Before that a negative result is not reliable. If you come sooner we will tell you when to come back rather than take payment for a result that cannot be trusted.
Yes, same day appointments are usually available, provided you are past the 28 day window.
Your records stay with us. Nothing goes to your NHS GP unless you ask us to.
A private test is not reportable to anyone. If you have a specific concern about an insurance application, ask us before testing rather than after.
Yes. NHS sexual health services test free, and postal self sampling kits are available. If cost matters more than speed, that is the better route and we would rather tell you.
Often yes. The Complete panel at £495 covers HIV alongside the other common infections and is usually better value than separate tests.
