Free HIV Test

Our free rapid HIV testing takes only a couple minutes to get your results. Testing for HIV is confidential and takes just a little poke of your finger. The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested so get tested.

Free Syphilis Testing

Our free syphilis testing is not a rapid test and is done through a blood draw. The results of our free syphilis tests take two to three weeks. We advise you to come in and get tested today. Syphilis is curable, but don’t wait to get tested because it can badly damage your body over time or cause a stillbirth if pregnant.

Syphilis is actually less common than HIV but still currently on the rise, so you should get tested for syphilis if a past partner of yours has syphilis, you have symptoms of syphilis like chancres (red round painless sores) or a new rash on places like your hands or feet, you inject your drugs, or if you have have had sex with a man who has sex with men.
