PRIVATE HIV RISK ASSESSMENT
What's Your Estimated HIV Risk?
Waiting for the HIV testing window period to pass can mean uncertainty, endless Googling, symptom checking and worst-case thinking. HIV Risk Report helps you organize the details of what happened, understand a modeled estimate of your risk and know what testing options come next. It cannot tell you whether you have HIV. Only an HIV test can do that.

PERSPECTIVE WHILE YOU WAIT
This tool was built for the difficult period between a possible HIV exposure and reliable testing. When you cannot get a definitive answer yet, it can be easy to keep searching the same questions and treating every unknown as the worst possible outcome. The purpose of HIV Risk Report is to help put the encounter into perspective using the information you provide, published risk data and a clear testing timetable. It is an educational statistical estimate, not a diagnosis. Testing remains the only way to determine your HIV status.
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE WITHIN THE LAST 72 HOURS?
Do not wait for this assessment before seeking professional advice about PEP. PEP is time-sensitive and must be started within 72 hours of a possible exposure when it is appropriate. The sooner it is started, the better. Contact a healthcare professional, sexual health clinic, urgent care service or emergency department as soon as possible.
Want to understand HIV risk before starting?
Our HIV Risk Calculator Guide explains the major factors that influence transmission risk, how HIV testing window periods work and why the details of an encounter matter.

This isn't a generic HIV information sheet. Your report uses the details you provide to build a modeled risk estimate, explain the major factors affecting it, put the result into perspective and give you a personalized testing timetable and next steps. The estimate cannot determine whether transmission occurred.
Your modeled risk estimate
Get an approximate statistical risk estimate based on the encounter you entered, shown as both a percentage and an easy-to-understand 1-in-X figure. The number is a model-based estimate using population data and the information you provide. It is not an exact measurement of your personal biological risk and cannot determine your HIV status.
Detailed analysis of what happened
The model examines the type of sex, your role, condom use, ejaculation, PrEP, wounds or inflammation, partner information and other relevant details you provide. It explains which factors may increase or reduce the modeled estimate instead of treating every encounter as identical.
Unknown status is not automatically treated as positive
When a partner's HIV status is unknown, the model does not simply assume they have HIV. It uses relevant population-level epidemiological data and the partner details you provide to estimate a starting likelihood before other applicable transmission and treatment factors are considered.
See what changed the estimate
Follow the calculation and see which factors increased, reduced or did not change the modeled result. The report shows applicable assumptions for condoms, treatment and viral suppression, PrEP, ejaculation, tissue conditions, partner background and other relevant details. You can see how the model arrived at its estimate.
Put the number into perspective
HIV scares can lead to endless searching, symptom checking and worst-case thinking. Your report explains the estimate in plain language, identifies what helped and what increased risk, and gives you context for understanding the number without pretending that a statistical estimate can replace testing.
Personalized HIV testing timetable
Different HIV tests have different window periods. Using the date of your encounter, the report provides personalized dates and explanations for relevant testing options, including nucleic acid or RNA testing, laboratory antigen/antibody testing and antibody-based testing. This gives you a clearer timeline for what to do next instead of repeatedly wondering whether it is too early to test.
A clearer path toward testing
Fear can sometimes make the next step feel harder than it needs to be. Understanding the modeled numbers and knowing when different tests become informative may help make the situation feel more manageable and give you a clearer path toward taking the HIV test that can actually provide an answer.
Time-sensitive PEP context
If the encounter was recent, the report identifies whether you may still be inside the 72-hour PEP window. This does not determine whether PEP is medically appropriate. Anyone concerned about a possible exposure within 72 hours should seek professional advice immediately rather than waiting for an assessment or report.

HIV Risk Report provides an educational, model-based statistical estimate using population data and the information you provide. It cannot determine whether HIV transmission occurred and is not an HIV test, diagnosis, medical device assessment, or substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Only appropriate HIV testing can determine your HIV status.
