HIV testing
We offer all clients HIV testing.
If HIV is detected early, treatment can be started which prevents damage to the immune system. With early treatment, long-term effects of HIV including serious infections and other health problems can be prevented.
Blood test
- A blood test is the most common way to test for HIV
- The test provides a reliable result 4 weeks after exposure to HIV.
