FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where can I get tested for HIV?
Patients can receive HIV testing during routine visits to their primary care provider. You can also be tested on a walk-in basis in our Urgent Care Department which is open 7 days a week.

Is HIV/STD testing free?
HIV testing is billed to your insurance. If you are uninsured, our financial counselors will help you apply for insurance.

Is testing confidential?
Yes, all HIV testing and records are kept confidential.  HIV case management, however, does release some identifying information such as data of birth to the Boston Public Health Commission for reporting purposes. 

What should I do if I want to do to prevent getting HIV?
Patients can speak to their primary care provider or go to our Urgent Care center for advice.
