You can choose between Anonymous (no ID required, result delivered verbally) and Confidential (valid state ID required, written result provided).

Testing is available Monday thru Thursday. Testing hours are 10 am to 3:00 pm by appointment and 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm for walk-ins. Please call ahead for testing space availability, testing times are subject to change due to test counselor training dates and Laboratory availability.

Please bring photo identification if you are looking for confidential testing (written results provided). Upon entering the building, inform our front desk volunteer that you are interested in receiving an HIV test and you will be directed to our testing room. Though the test itself takes just a few minutes, each test counseling session lasts approximately 30-40 minutes per client (some have more questions than others). There is no time limit per client.
