I don’t really remember what happened but if I had unprotected sex 3-4 months ago can I still get tested?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, you can get tested now and any test results would be considered accurate now as  the incubation times ( time when able to be detected e.g. 2-6 weeks for chlamydia) for various sexually transmitted infections including HIV have been covered by 3 months. You can find an STI testing clinic at https://smartsexresource.com/get-tested/clinic-finder 

 Let us know if this does not answer your question or if you have any more questions or concerns. Health Nurse
