Yes, although we recommend testing first. The availability of laboratory results allows the doctor:
- Identifying infections that may be asymptomatic
- Assess whether the timing of the test coincides with the window period.
- Tailor the recommendations to your actual situation
- Prescribe treatment in a reasoned manner if necessary.
Without previous results, the consultation is still useful, but the assessment is limited to the information you can provide at the time. For full attention, it is best to arrive with the report in hand.
