HIV and Hepatitis Testing Services

About HIV Testing: There are currently three types of HIV  antibody testing available:

·    Confidential testing - Usually done by own physician. Test results are recorded in your file and remain with your medical records. Insurance may be billed for test.

·     Anonymous testing—Usually done at health clinics at no cost. You are identified by a random number rather than your name.  Test results are recorded to your assigned number only. To assure anonymity, insurance is not  billed for anonymous tests. 

·     Home testing  - Home test kits may be purchased at any pharmacy.  Cost  is approximately $50-$60. This is also a form of anonymous testing. Test results are given over the phone.
