Why Isn't This Tool Free?
When fear hits, the internet is the first place we turn. Free “HIV calculators” pop up everywhere, but let’s be honest: they’re shallow, generic, and often leave you more anxious than before. They don’t give you certainty, only vague guesses.
You’re here because you need clarity you can trust. This tool was built to give you exactly that: a personalised, evidence-based risk report that cuts through the noise and gives you real peace of mind.
The Problem With Free Tools
HIV risk isn’t a yes-or-no question. It’s a chain of probabilities, and missing even one step makes the result meaningless. Free tools skip the math. They hand you a label like “low risk” without showing the logic. That’s not reassurance. That’s roulette.
Our tool answers the three questions that actually matter:
- 1. What’s the chance your partner had HIV to begin with?
- 2. If they did, what’s the chance they could pass it on?
- 3. If they could, what’s the chance it reached you?
Anything less than all three steps is incomplete. That’s why we built this differently.
How It Works
Step 1: Was Your Partner Likely Positive?
We calculate this using hard data, not guesses. Country prevalence, group-level risk, and partner behaviours all feed into the starting point. No free tool goes this deep.
Step 2: Could They Even Transmit?
This is where most calculators break down. Even if someone is positive, they may not be infectious. Antiretroviral treatment can make the virus undetectable, which means untransmittable (U=U). Our tool accounts for this, factoring in national treatment data so you get a smart estimate, not a fear-driven one.
Step 3: What Happened During Sex
Different acts mean different risks. We layer in specifics: vaginal vs. anal, condom use, presence of blood, and more. Every factor shifts the math, and your report reflects all of it.
The Side-By-Side Difference
| Feature | Free Tools | HIVRiskReport |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Labels only | Step-by-step probability model |
| Inputs Considered | 3–5 | 13+ |
| Understands ART (U=U)? | No | Yes, built on clinical data |
| Factors Like Blood/Wounds? | No | Yes |
| Output | “Low risk” label | 6-page personalised report |
| Privacy | Unclear | 100% anonymous, never shared |
Why It’s Worth Paying For
What you’re buying isn’t just a number. It’s relief, clarity, and a private roadmap for your next steps. Here’s what’s inside:
- Customised Science: Your risk is recalculated using up-to-date data from your country, your encounter, your role. No two reports are ever identical.
- Total Privacy: Because this is a paid service, your data is never sold. The report is password-protected and belongs only to you.
- Clear Next Steps: Testing timelines, context for your results, and plain-language explanations so you know exactly what to do next.
- Constant Updates: Every report funds research, keeping the tool aligned with the latest HIV science.
You’ve spent enough energy worrying. It’s time to take control with an answer you can trust.
