Who Should Get HIV Tested?

HIV testing is recommended for many adults as part of routine preventive care. You may want to schedule HIV testing if you:

• Are sexually active

• Have had a new or multiple sexual partners

• Are you unsure of your HIV status?

• Have had unprotected sex

• Are testing after a potential exposure

• Are starting or changing a relationship

• Are planning pregnancy or undergoing fertility care

• Want peace of mind as part of routine health screening

Our providers can help determine how often testing is appropriate based on your individual health history and circumstances.

Types of HIV Tests We Offer

HIV testing is typically performed using blood tests that detect HIV antibodies and antigens. These tests are highly accurate and commonly used in clinical settings.

Your provider will select the appropriate test based on medical guidelines, timing of possible exposure, and your overall care plan. If additional follow-up testing is needed, we will explain the reasons clearly.

HIV Testing as Part of Comprehensive Sexual Health Care

HIV testing is often performed alongside other sexually transmitted infection screenings, depending on your needs. Testing can be included as part of:

• Routine annual physical exams

• Sexual health screenings

• Preventive care visits

• Evaluation after possible exposure

• Pre-operative or medical clearance examinations

Our goal is to provide complete, coordinated care rather than isolated testing.

What to Expect During Your HIV Test

HIV testing is simple and typically involves a standard blood draw performed by a trained medical professional. The process usually takes only a few minutes.

After your blood sample is collected, it is sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. Your provider will review the results and contact you to explain them clearly and discuss any recommended next steps.

Understanding Your HIV Test Results

Your provider will explain your HIV test results in a clear and compassionate manner. If your test is negative, we can discuss preventive strategies and recommended testing intervals.

If further evaluation or follow-up is needed, your provider will guide you through next steps and coordinate appropriate care and referrals as necessary. Support and education are always part of the process.
