WHY SHOULD I GET TESTED?

Knowing your HIV status is the best way to protect your health and the health of your partner or partners. If you are HIV-positive, early diagnosis gives you the best chance to live a healthy, long life. Many who are HIV-positive do not know it, and could unknowingly infect others. If you are sexually active, get tested. The testing experience at our sites is free, quick, easy and 100% judgment-free.

HOW LONG WILL THE TEST TAKE?

The actual test time will be from 1 minute to 20 minutes depending on the type of test used. Some tests use a small drop of blood, others test your saliva by taking a quick, painless swab of the inside of your cheek. Whatever the technology used, if you take the test at one of our sites, we guarantee it will be quick.

WHAT IF MY RESULTS SHOW THAT I AM HIV POSITIVE?

If you receive an HIV-positive test result, our trained and certified counselors will walk you through the next steps. HIV is not curable, but it is treatable and the treatments are highly effective. FreeHIVTest.net is operated by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest provider of HIV/AIDS care in the U.S. Caring for those living with HIV is our mission. If you test positive, our knowledgeable staff of counselors and medical providers will be with you to support you every step of the way.
