Where can I get tested?

Where can I get tested?

There are a number of resources available in determining where and how to get tested. There are two ways to get tested for HIV -- you can visit a place that provides HIV testing such as a local health department, your family doctor, a hospital or an HIV testing center, or you can purchase a home test kit. However, the FDA currently approves only the Home Access brand test kit.

In order to find a testing center near you, visit www.aids.org or call the CDC National AIDS Hotline at (800) 342-2437 (English), (800) 243-7889 (Spanish) or (800) 243-7889 (TTY). In addition, regional and national AIDS service and support organizations can assist you in locating a testing center.
