Do i have to be 18+ to get HIV test take?? |
Do i have to be 18+ to get HIV test take?? see a doctor On your own...yes. If you're a minor, you'll need parental consent. no, you can go to a reproductive health clinic like planned parenthood and be tested without parental consent. you can also go to a confidential or annonymous HIV testing site without needing parental consent. Different testing sites have different age thresholds. There are many sites that will not test you without your parents' consent unless you are at least 16 or 17. Check out http://www.hivtest.org/ and type in your zip code (and search radius) to find testing sites in your area that offer testing for free or low cost. If you're worried about your parents finding out, keep in mind that confidentiality is required whether you go to your own MD or other site. Many testing sites also offer anonymous testing, which means your name won't be used but you may be required to show some proof of age/maturity. You shouldn't have to, just bring some over 18. No you can be any age to get tested for HIV some places you need parentel consent but plant parenthood you don't. It depends where you live. In NY state you an get tested as young as 14 with out a parent giving consent. Call an agency where you want to go and ask their policy, some places set their own rules. No you do not. If you ask your regular doctor or go to a free health clinic, they will test you regardless of age. Good luck. |
