The sooner you know your status, the better. We are certified to offer no-cost, confidential tests for HIV/ AIDS, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and HEP C.
Please send us a message or call the office closest to you to schedule your no-cost, confidential test.
Our Community Health Educators can guide you through a personalized risk reduction plan, link you to healthcare, provide information about PrEP, and connect you with the resources and support you may need if you’re living with HIV/ AIDS, other STIs, or Hepatitis.
You may be at risk of infection if you had unprotected anal or vaginal sex during the last year; ever paid someone to have sex; had a sexually transmitted infection within the past five years; have current or past sex partners who are HIV positive; use drugs or alcohol to make sex more enjoyable; ever used a needle to inject drugs, or have current or past sex partners who might have injected drugs.
