When HIV Testing Makes Sense

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 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 screening

If you’re unsure whether or when to test, our providers can help you decide based on your situation.

Types of HIV Tests We Use

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 currrent medical guidelines, timing of possible exposure, and your overall care plan. If additional follow-up testing is needed, your provider will explain why and what to expect.

HIV Testing as Part of Sexual Health Care

HIV testing is often performed alongside other STI testing, depending on your needs. Testing may be included as part of:

• Routine annual physical exams

• Sexual health screenings

• Preventive care visits

• Post-exposure evaluations

• Pre-operative or medical clearance exams

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

What to Expect During Your HIV Testing Appointment

HIV testing is simple and typically involves a brief, private conversation with your clinician and 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 clearly and directly. If your test is negative, we can discuss preventative strategies and appropriate 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 appropriate. Support and education are always part of the process, so you won’t be left guessing what comes next.
