What is the test???

You can get a oral fluid test which tests for just type 1 for about $30.00. This test is good but not as accurate as the blood test.

Where do I get the test???

You can get the confidential test at The Health Center, a doctor's office, clinic, or special anonymous test sites where you don't have to give your name.

How much does the test cost???

At most of the sites, it costs about $25-30. If you can't pay, you can still get the test. Or, you can also ask your doctor.

How long before I know the results???

About 1 week.
