Is it possible to get a positive hpt 5 days after intercourse?

Not from 5 days ago: If you had a positive pregnancy test, it is not from the intercourse that you had 5 days ago. It takes longer than that (few weeks) for enough HCG to be produced and then detected on a urine pregnancy test.

Re do test: If you have not had your period for 4-5 days after it was due, you may do an hpt. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully.

Provided original answer
If the repeat test was positive, you should see a doctor to establish pre-natal care for the sake of your and your baby's health. The doctor will do a blood test, if needed and may perform ultrasound exam.

Pregnancy: It usually take 2 weeks since the time of missed period. I would suggest you to wait for at least 10 more days and then repeat the test. Good luck !
