HIV Testing

The Project provides free, confidential rapid HIV testing to individuals who belong to one or more of the following groups:

- Men who have sex with men (MSM)
- Racial or ethnic minorities
- People who have sex with HIV-positive individuals
- People who inject drugs and their sexual partners
- People who trade or buy sex for money, drugs, or favors
- People who have had a sexually-transmitted disease (STD) within the last 90 days

If you do not belong to any of these groups, other agencies, such as the Polk County Health Department, Planned Parenthood, or your primary physician can meet your testing needs.  If you would like information about other testing locations, please click here.
