Knowing your status can help you get treatment sooner as well as protect your future partners from being exposed to HIV
Getting tested is easy and usually free! Routine testing is encouraged to help stop the spread of HIV and other STD's and is considered a form of prevention
We ALL have identifiable risk factors for HIV. Know yours and how to protect yourself from HIV and other STD's
Being committed to stopping the spread through testing, prevention, and maintained health is the best way to combat HIV and other STD's
We have a host of resources available in and around the Upstate to get tested, find prevention, and seek treatment for STD’s and HIV. Find upcoming dates and locations for local testing or add a testing date + location to our calendar to share!
If a fee is associated with testing for a listing we mention, we try to include that in the listing information we provide.
We depend on our community partners to inform us of testing sites, dates, and specifics. If you know of a testing site or are hosting a testing day, you may submit it to us below our calendar!
