Why e dey
Afta possible exposure (wen HIV fit don enter your body), pipo dey usually search for late night, and dem go find either stories wey go make fear catch dem or reassurance wey no clear. None of dem dey help. Wetin dey help na to get real idea of di risk, to know weda e worth am to find PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis: HIV medicine wey you go take afta exposure to stop di virus), and to know wen test fit give answer wey you fit trust. Dis tool dey try to give you all three inside few minutes.
Wetin e dey do
- E dey estimate di chance say di exposure wey you describe don give you HIV
- E dey show exactly which factors bring dat number, and wetin go lower am
- E dey tell you wen PEP fit still dey possible
- E dey show which tests dey work for which day, and wen negative result go become final
- E dey let you print summary wey you fit carry go clinic, or add test dates to your calendar
Where di numbers come from
Di estimate for how HIV dey pass for each act, di window period (di time afta infection wen test neva fit show HIV) for each test, and how well PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis: HIV medicine wey you dey take before any exposure to protect yourself) dey work, all of dem come from di US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Di prevalence figures (how common HIV dey for each country) na UNAIDS estimates, wit approximate figures for some few countries wey UNAIDS no dey publish figure for. Where we don need to make assumption, like how much PEP timing matter, we tok am for di methodology page.
Wetin e no be
E no be diagnosis, e no fit replace doctor or nurse, and e no be reason to skip test. Low number no mean say you no fit get HIV, and high number no mean say you get am. If you dey worry, go do HIV test.
