How soon after the event can you find out if you are pregnant?

Patient's question:

1. How long after the event can a pregnancy test detect pregnancy with a test strip?
Is the test strip accurate? First follow-up question: Does this mean you can detect pregnancy about 10 days after the event?
What is a false negative?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally 14 days after sexual activity or 7 days after a delayed period, you can use a pregnancy test kit or have blood tests to check the six hormones of the sexual axis to see if they are higher than normal values. If they are significantly higher than normal values, it should be pregnancy. After pregnancy, rest more, avoid fatigue, and have regular follow-up checks.
