Get Tested for HIV & STIs


We offer free, fast, confidential HIV tests at multiple locations across San Francisco. All of our locations offer rapid HIV testing, with results available in 20 minutes. Some of our locations provide additional services including STI testing, Hepatitis A and B vaccinations, and Hepatitis C testing.

All of our HIV testing is open to gay, bisexual, and heteroflexible men, as well as people who inject drugs, trans women and trans men.
