Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask how and when results are shared and what follow-up a positive or uncertain test would trigger. Do not stop existing treatment.
What changes the answer
- The named infection or vaccine and the date and closeness of exposure
- Symptoms, vaccination or immunity history, pregnancy week and test results
- Work, household, travel or outbreak context and the time-sensitive options available

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
