Testing

We offer rapid point-of-care HIV testing, delivering test results in just 20 minutes through a finger stick test. In the case of reactive results (preliminary positive), a confirmatory blood test is required, which can be done at AIDS Resource or outsourced to a local laboratory. AIDS Resource provides a range of services for individuals who receive positive test results. Please go to Connect to Care and Client Services to learn more.

Another convenient testing option is home-based HIV testing. You have the option to have an HIV self-testing kit mailed directly to you or to pick it up at one of our offices. Either way, this service is provided free of charge. Click here to see if HIV self-testing is right for you.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea testing are available. A urine sample is obtained to look for the bacteria that cause these infections in the urethra. It takes less than an hour to receive test results. If you test positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea, we will provide on-site antibiotic treatment. Additional testing, such as pharyngeal and rectal swabs of the throat and rectum, may be recommended based on your sexual practices.

We also offer hepatitis C testing. It takes approximately 20 minutes to receive test results from a finger stick test. If you test positive for hepatitis C, we will schedule an appointment with our physician or refer you to a local specialist for further assessment and treatment.

All testing is confidential. While we do accept health insurance, it is not a requirement to undergo testing and receive treatment. Testing is available by appointment only.
