Are you positive you're negative? Find out with Rapid HIV Testing.
IT'S FAST!
The OraQuick® Rapid HIV Antibody Test takes only 20 minutes.
IT'S EASY!
Just open up and say "Ahhhhh!" Clients insert the collection pad at the end
of the OraQuick device (seen to your right) inside the front of their mouth
and gently swab once, completely around both upper and lower outer gums. The
specimen that's collected on the pad is all that's needed. There's no blood
or needle involved.
IT'S ACCURATE!
Based on the results from a large controlled clinical trial, the OraQuick®
Rapid HIV-1 Antibody test was shown to be 99.6% accurate for positive
(reactive results) and 100.0% accurate on negative (non-reactive) results.
IT'S FREE!
Anonymous rapid HIV testing is provided free of charge.

A few notes to keep in mind:
We can not share your test results with anyone other than you. You will not
receive a printed copy of your OraQuick test results because OraQuick is an
anonymous test. If you want or need a printed copy of your HIV status, we
suggest you obtain a confidential blood test from your doctor or from
Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Specialty Clinic instead.
At this time, OraQuick rapid testing is not yet offered at the Louisville Metro
Public Health and Wellness Specialty Clinic.
