We operate on a walk-in, first come – first served basis only. No appointments are available.
The AACI HOPE Program, through the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center, is now offering the 4th Generation Alere Determine HIV test. This test uses a sample of blood collected through a finger stick (like a blood sugar test for diabetes). Alere Determine is able to detect HIV much earlier than the OraQuick Advance 2nd Generation HIV test being offered here previously. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to collect oral samples. Results are still available approximately 20-30 minutes after the sample has been collected. You can choose between Anonymous (no ID required, results delivered verbally) and Confidential (valid state or government ID required, written results provided).
Please bring photo identification if you want confidential testing (written results provided). Upon entering the building, inform our front desk volunteer that you are interested in receiving an HIV test and you will be directed to our testing room. Though the test itself takes just a few minutes, each test session lasts approximately 30-40 minutes (some clients have more questions than others). There is no counseling time limit per client.
