Are tests available to clinicians 4 patients that r suspected 2 be HIV- positive who test (-)usaly?


what are those tests?

where can i find a web site that can answer my question?

There is the oral rapid test, the finger prick rapid and the standard blood test. Those are the tests I know of. Some places have drop in clinics and by appt only. There are free tests. If you have insurance, they cover it. It's illegal for you insurance company to drop you if you test positive. If you have a positive test from the finger prick or oral rapid, you have to have a blood test called the Western blot test to confirm HIV antibodies. So there you go. Get tested and don't put it off. Knowing is half the battle in controlling the spread of this disease. Always be smart, be safe and RAP IT UP.
