Which service do I need?
The cards above give a quick summary. If you’re still not sure where you fit, this table matches common situations to the right service. You can also simply tell us what happened and the doctor will guide you.
| Your situation | Best service | How soon |
|---|---|---|
| A condom broke, you had sex without one, or you had a needle-stick injury in the last 72 hours | PEP | Now: walk in today |
| You expect possible HIV exposures in the coming weeks or months | PrEP | Before the next possible exposure |
| You want to know your HIV status, or an exposure was more than 72 hours ago | HIV testing | Now, then again after the window period |
| You have symptoms such as discharge, pain or sores, or want a routine check | STI screening | Soon, especially with symptoms |
| You finished PEP recently and want ongoing protection | PrEP, after an HIV test | As soon as your doctor advises |
If you’re unsure whether an exposure needs PEP at all, our guide to working out whether you need PEP explains HIV risk by type of exposure.
PEP clinic in Bangkok: emergency HIV prevention
Who it’s for: anyone who may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, including after a condom failure, sex without a condom, sexual assault or a needle-stick injury.
What’s included:
- A private consultation to assess the exposure and your health
- Baseline tests, including a rapid HIV test
- Your first PEP dose at the clinic
- The full 28-day supply to take home, with clear instructions
- A medical letter for your own doctor
- Reminders for your follow-up HIV tests
How long it takes: usually about an hour from arrival to first dose. No appointment is needed. For the medical background, read what PEP is and how it works.
PrEP in Bangkok: ongoing protection
Who it’s for: HIV-negative people who could be exposed to HIV again, for example people with more than one partner, partners of someone with HIV who is not yet undetectable, or people who have needed PEP before.
What’s included:
- A consultation about your needs and which way of taking PrEP suits you
- Screening before you start, including an HIV test and STI checks
- A kidney function check
- A 30-day supply of PrEP
- Advice on follow-up visits and ongoing testing
What happens next: PrEP works best with regular check-ups for HIV, STIs and kidney health. If you are deciding between the two, our comparison of PEP vs PrEP and who each one suits explains the options.
HIV testing in Bangkok: fast and confidential
Who it’s for: anyone who wants to know their HIV status, whether after a specific worry, before starting PrEP, as a follow-up after PEP, or as a routine check.
What’s included: a rapid 4th-generation HIV test, which looks for both HIV antibodies and an early part of the virus, a doctor to explain your result, and advice on whether you need a repeat test later. Anonymous testing is available if you prefer.
How long it takes: results are usually ready in about an hour. Timing matters, because no test can detect HIV immediately after an exposure. Our guide on when to test for HIV after an exposure explains window periods.
STI testing in Bangkok
Who it’s for: anyone with symptoms, anyone who has had a new partner or condomless sex, and people on PrEP who need regular checks.
What’s included: screening for syphilis, hepatitis B and C, gonorrhoea and chlamydia, with the doctor advising which tests fit your situation. Where possible, treatment is given the same day.
What happens: depending on the tests, you may give a blood sample, a urine sample or a swab. Many STIs cause no symptoms at all, so testing is the only way to know.
What happens during your visit?
- Arrive or message ahead. Walk in for PEP, or contact us by LINE, WhatsApp, phone or the booking form if you’d like to plan your visit.
- A short registration. Your first name is enough. You’ll be shown to a private room.
- Consultation. An English- or Thai-speaking doctor asks what happened, when, and about your health and any medicines you take. There is no judgement, just the information needed to treat you safely.
- Tests. The doctor explains which tests you need and why, and samples are taken.
- Results and treatment. You get results for rapid tests and, where needed, start treatment: a first PEP dose, a PrEP supply or STI treatment.
- Your plan. You leave knowing what to do next, with follow-up test reminders set up.
Privacy and confidentiality
We know that sexual health can feel personal, and that worry about privacy stops some people from getting care. Here is how we protect it:
- Consultations and tests take place in private rooms.
- You only need to give a first name, and anonymous HIV testing is available.
- Your information is kept confidential.
- Your medical letter is given to you, so you decide who sees it.
Services for visitors and expats
Whether you are travelling, working or living in Bangkok, you are welcome here. Our doctors speak English and Thai, and we are open every day from 09:00 to 21:00, including weekends. If you are on holiday and need PEP, you can take the full 28-day supply home, along with a medical letter for your own doctor, so your follow-up tests can happen wherever you live.

Why prevention and testing matter
No single method suits everyone. UNAIDS lists the HIV prevention methods proven highly effective, including condoms, PrEP, clean needles and syringes, and HIV treatment that lowers viral load. Testing ties them together: knowing your status, and your partners knowing theirs, makes every other choice easier.
Frequently asked questions about our services
Do I need an appointment?
Not for PEP: walk-ins are welcome every day. For PrEP, testing or STI screening you can also walk in, or message us first to plan a time that suits you.
Can I get PEP and an STI check in the same visit?
Yes. Many people have an STI screen alongside PEP, and the doctor will suggest which tests make sense after your exposure.
Can I switch from PEP to PrEP here?
Yes. After you finish PEP and a test confirms you are HIV-negative, the doctor can discuss starting PrEP.
Will you remind me about follow-up tests?
Yes. We send reminders for your follow-up HIV tests, so you don’t have to keep track of the dates yourself.
