Where to test for AIDS?

(1) Where to test:

The voluntary counseling and testing clinic (VCT) of the local CDC can get free counseling and testing services.

Hospitals at or above the county level can provide testing services.

Maternal and child health care institutions throughout the country and most primary medical institutions can also provide testing services.

Social organizations that carry out AIDS prevention can provide testing consultation and referral services.

Some colleges and universities set up self-service urine test bag vending machines, which can be purchased by themselves.

(two) the directory and address of the testing institution:

For details, please refer to the directory of voluntary counseling and testing institutions providing initial screening testing services and the directory of confirmatory laboratories providing confirmatory testing services in official website, STD and AIDS Prevention and Control Center of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

(3) Can you do the test yourself (self-test)?

Self-testing is a testing method recommended by the World Health Organization, and some testing reagents have obtained international certification.

There are no certified products in China.

At present, people who buy self-test rapid reagents need to pay special attention to:

Because the self-tester has not been trained, there may be some mistakes in collecting samples, testing process and understanding the results, so there may be incorrect results, including false negatives and false positives.

Self-test positive can not diagnose AIDS infection, so we must go to the CDC or regular medical institutions for testing.

Self-test negative, generally speaking, suggests that there is no AIDS infection, but because there is a window period, it is recommended to go to the CDC or regular medical institutions for consultation and testing after 3 months.
