We are pleased to announce that we now have the ability to perform rapid HIV testing at Student Health Services! The rapid HIV testing is both free and confidential. Using a finger stick to obtain a small amount of blood, the test is run on-site and the results are available in 20-30 minutes.
Erin Taylor, our Health Counselor, is on hand to provide the HIV testing and prevention education services in a non-judgmental environment. You can make an appointment to see her for the rapid HIV testing, and other STI (sexually transmitted infection) counseling services, by calling our main number at 215.746.3535 or making an appointment online by clicking here.
In addition to rapid testing we still have traditional HIV testing available, these samples are sent to Quest labs and are typically available within one week. A post-test visit is required to obtain these results and do prevention counseling. You can make an appointment for a visit with a Primary Care provider to get this testing done, and to discuss other STI issues, by calling 215.746.3535 or scheduling online by clicking here and following the link to Penn portal.
There are also off-campus sites for HIV testing, click here for that information.
