Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about The HIV Map, PEP timing, PrEP for visitors, insurance, and how we differ from Thai-language locators.
What is The HIV Map?
The HIV Map is a bilingual traveler guide for finding HIV testing, PrEP, and PEP services in Thailand — especially useful if you are an expat, tourist, or English-speaking visitor. Start with /guide, then book via Love2Test when you are ready.
How is this different from Thai HIV Map?
Thai HIV Map (thaihivmap.com) is a Thai-language province-level locator. The HIV Map focuses on international access: English-speaking clinics, tourist PEP, visitor PrEP, insurance/documents, and Bangkok entry points.
How quickly do I need PEP after a possible exposure?
PEP should be started as soon as possible and generally within 72 hours of exposure. Sooner is better. Read /guide/tourist-pep, then go to an emergency department or clinic that can start PEP and call ahead if you can.
Can visitors get PrEP in Thailand?
Many clinics offer PrEP to visitors and expats, often as a paid service. You typically need an HIV-negative test and baseline labs. Read /guide/prep-visitors and confirm language support, cost, and follow-up before booking.
Will my travel insurance cover sexual-health care?
Coverage varies widely. Check your policy for STI/HIV testing, emergency care, and outpatient meds — and bring passport, policy documents, and payment method. See /guide/insurance-docs.
Does this site replace medical advice?
No. Content is informational to help you find and prepare for services. Diagnosis, prescriptions, and insurance decisions require a qualified clinician or your insurer.
