- Can I bring my partner in with me when I test?
Your partner/friend/relative may accompany you to the
clinic, but no one else may be in the room with you
and the HIV test counselor during your assessment and
result disclosure.
- Does my parent or guardian have to come with me
if I'm not 18 years old?
NO. California law allows anyone above the age of 12
to test for HIV anonymously.
- Will my name be used or reported if I come back
positive?
All our testing is anonymous (no names used). A number
is given to each person. If your test comes back
positive for HIV antibodies, a confirmatory test is
offered. In the event that your result comes back
preliminarily positive we will transition you to a
confidential test which will involve a blood draw
and submit this specimen for confirmatory testing
with confidential name inclusion.
