Confidential HIV Test? What do I need?

So I am going to get a confidential (not anonymous) HIV test taken, and I would like to know from others who've gotten one before, what it's like?

1.) Do I need to bring anything?
2.) Exactly what information do they request? (I.D./Address/Social? etc.)
3.) If positive, what will be done with the information?

I'm very nervous, and any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need to take anything. You will fill out a paper that has your name, address and how you wish to be contacted. They will have you read a form the explains the HIV test, and you will need to sign a consent form. By law all your paperwork had to be kept filed away with only a few clinical staff with access.

IF you would test HIV+, it is strongly encouraged you give the names of your partner(s) do they can be notified that there is a chance they may have been exposed to HIV., What is done with the information varies from state to state. It is all kept very confidential.

If HIV+ they the agency where you test should help get you into treatment.

As some one who does HIV testing you are protected by the laws and your privacy is respected.

I dont know where you are located but I live in Canada and you can take an anonymous test in specified clinics. You do not need anything to bring with you. Just bring yourself! It is called anonymous and they do not require any address, social, etc... no ID.

If you are located in the US, I assume it is the same thing. If the test is positive, they are not going to reveal your information to anybody except you. They will give you a number when you do the test and based on that number they will give you the result.

If your already seeing a Doctor you wont need any papers or personal info unless your first registering to see a doctor all you need is to ask your doctor if you can have an HIV/AIDS test or other test that you want concerning your health.

If you wanna see a doctor and you have seen a doctor or moving to see a doctor you will need a parent if your under 18 to help you with your papers but if your 18 and older then you will need social security, number address, home phone number, ID and if you have it your insurance card.

Good luck

God bless

Good for you!!!! That is so responsible...you shouldn't need any papers...they will have you fill out papers probably and you should know all the info....the results are confidential...they will let you know if it is positive..all the HIV tests I've had they never called and I asked my Dr. why they didn't call when the results were in and he said it was because they were negative...good luck and God Bless
