A Very Simple Blood Test
During the test, a small drop of blood is collected from a capillary puncture in your finger. The blood sample is then analyzed using the HIV Rapid test kit.

Our healthcare professionals will explain the results, provide any necessary counseling, and guide you through the following steps based on your test outcome.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If HIV isn’t treated, it can cause AIDS. There’s no cure yet for HIV, but there are treatments that can help people live long, healthy lives.
HIV spreads through body fluids, like blood, semen (cum), vaginal fluids, and breast milk. HIV can pass from one person to another through:
The only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested. Many people with HIV don’t have any symptoms. In the United States, about 1 in 7 people who have HIV don't know they have it.
Once you’ve gotten tested for HIV:
Live longer with HIV by getting treatment early.
If you have HIV, early treatment can help you live a long, healthy life. It’s important to get early treatment for HIV even if you don’t feel sick. The sooner you get care for HIV, the better.
Protect yourself and others.
If you have HIV, you can take steps to protect others, like taking your HIV medicine exactly the way your doctor or nurse tells you to. This can lower the amount of HIV in your body so much that you have an undetectable viral load — meaning a test can’t find any HIV in your body. This is called being virally suppressed.Â
If you have an undetectable viral load, there’s almost no chance you can pass HIV to other people.
An HIV test checks a sample of your blood to see whether you are infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HIV is a virus that destroys certain cells in your immune system. These cells protect your body against diseases from germs, such as bacteria and viruses, and fungi. If you lose too many immune cells, your body will have trouble fighting off infections and other diseases.
The results are instant. In less than a minute you will have a result.
When you get tested at a doctor’s office, lab or clinic your test results are confidential. This means they can only be shared with people allowed to see your medical records.
Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance plans must cover HIV testing for everyone ages 15 to 65 — and for others who are at higher risk for HIV. The Affordable Care Act also requires insurance plans to cover HIV counseling for women. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get HIV testing and counseling at no cost to you. Check with your insurance company to find out more. Medicare may also cover HIV screening for certain groups at no cost.
If an HIV Rapid Antibody Test is reactive, indicating the presence of HIV antibodies, further medical evaluation, and treatment are necessary. Our healthcare providers will provide guidance and support, assisting you in seeking medical treatment through your known doctor or an affiliated linkage program.
While the HIV Rapid Antibody Test has a high accuracy rate, there is a small possibility of false positive or false negative results. Therefore, it is important to follow up with confirmatory testing if there is any uncertainty or concern regarding the initial test result. Our healthcare professionals can provide further guidance and support in such situations.
