HIV Testing




It is estimated that most HIV positive people don't know they are infected.
The only way for anyone to know their HIV status is by getting an HIV test. Confidential, anonymous, low cost, and no cost testing is available.

HIV testing services are found in the following settings:

Private Doctor Testing is available through your primary healthcare provider. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for HIV.

Public Health Testing is available through the AIDS Program, STD Clinic, and HOW (Health On Wheels) van. A $20 donation is requested but no one is turned away if unable to pay. All clients receive counseling and risk reduction information before testing and when obtaining results. Spanish speaking counselors are available at select sites.
