How does the testing window for prep work
Today I was able to get tested and put on prep. I wasn’t asked about the timing of my most recent sexual encounter which was two days ago. (Used protection) Is the logic behind it if I’m testing negative today and start prep tomorrow, it will mean I will remain negative or is there still an actually feasible chance it won’t turn back positive?

A protected encounter isn't a risk for HIV. If you haven't had unprotected intercourse recently, and you tested negative today, you don't have HIV.
