Testing
You can get tested for HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections with your family doctor, at walk-in clinics, the Birth Control Centre and the STD Clinic. All testing should be confidential.
The STD Clinic is located at 11111 Jasper Avenue. For more information, call 413-5156.
There are two tests for testing for HIV. The first test you will receive is the Elisa Test – tests for antibodies to the virus. If the test is positive you will receive the Western Blot Test, a more reliable test to confirm positive results.
Pre and post-test counselling is critical. HIV Edmonton provides counselling on-site and through outreach. Please contact 488-5742 to ask about pre and post-test counselling.
