HIV Testing

Two types of testing are available:  

Anonymous HIV testing means that no name is given to the testing center. Instead, the person tested is given a unique identifier code. The person tested is the only one who is made aware of the test results.

Confidential HIV testing, also called names reporting, records the person's name. Confidentiality laws and regulations protect the information. Medical personnel and, in some states, the state health department will have access to your test results. Also, if you choose to sign a release form to have your personal physician notified, the information will become a part of your medical record. It may be seen by health care workers, insurers or employers. Your status may become known if you make a claim for health insurance benefits or apply for life insurance or disability insurance.
