We are pleased to announce that we now have the ability to perform free, confidential rapid HIV testing at Student Health Services! 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 test, 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 offer traditional HIV testing. A tube of blood is drawn, sent to Quest laboratory and is typically available within one week. A post-test visit is required to obtain these results and discuss HIV prevention. You can make an appointment with a Primary Care provider to get a traditional HIV test, 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.
