FREE HIV HOME TESTING FAQs:
To order your free HIV home test kit, complete the form above. Once complete, you will be provided a link to order your free HIV home test kit.
I think I may have just been exposed to HIV. Should I use a free HIV home test kit?
YOU SHOULD NOT ORDER A KIT. Instead, you can prevent HIV by getting Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), a four-week course of medications that prevent HIV infection. If you think you’ve been exposed to HIV, and want to start taking PEP, do so as soon as possible. PEP has to be started within 72 hours (3 days) in order to work. Contact us to ask about PEP or search for PEP here.
You should not order a kit if you are having STI symptoms. Contact us or another healthcare provider to get tested and treated.
In some places, people under the age of 18 can order a home test kit. When you enter your date of birth, you will get an error message if you are not eligible because of your age. To find out more about STIs and youth testing services, click here.
If you are eligible to order a test, you can select from the following:
- HIV Oral Swab Tests (OraQuick) are only approved for people ages 17 and up.
- Lab-based HIV or STI testing varies state by state. Click here for more information about what you can get tested for in your state.
- If you receive an error message when you enter your date of birth, you will not be able to order a test kit because of the law in your state.
In approximately one to four days, you will get a discreet package in the mail with your test kit and a set of instructions.
For the HIV oral swab test: Once you take the test, your results will be ready at home in 20 minutes. For lab-based tests: Once you complete your specimens and mail them back to the lab, it takes on average 3 days (range 1-6 days) to process your results. Don’t worry. You’ll get an email from us once they are ready to be viewed in your portal.
