The pattern to watch for in the articles is whether a result is in cell culture, in mice, or in humans, and at what trial phase. Most of the breathless coverage is from the first two and the distance from there to a clinic is enormous.

Everything else can wait, and in fact has to. Testing immediately after an exposure mostly tells you about your status beforehand, because nothing has had time to become detectable yet.

So the sequence is: anything urgent today, then a test at the interval the clinic gives you, then a second one later for the things with longer windows.

The newly approved oral options may also be relevant to people who cannot have the standard injection, since that is close to how one of them was framed. Worth asking whether it is available to you.
