do hospitals do HIV tests? ive called around and each one told me no.?

Answer 1

You may need a physician's order for such a test, so the hospital can bill your insurance. If the hospital doesn't perform the test, they should be able to draw the blood and send it to the appropriate lab.

Option two would be to contact your local health department for a referral to an appropriate facility.

Answer 2

hospitals will do hiv tests on their inpatients as a diagnostic tool for symptoms or for needle stick injuries. that don't offer hiv testing on an outpatient basis. your best bet is to buy a home access test from the drug store. sixty dollars, results in 3 days, completely confidential.

Answer 3

most hospitals don't call the CDC 18003422437 ask for a local clinic in your area that does rapid HIV testing---you'll get the results in 20 minutes----

OraSure introduced the OraQuick® Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test - the first FDA approved and CLIA waived rapid point-of-care test to aid in the diagnosis of infection to HIV-1 using a fingerstick and venipuncture whole blood specimen.
