How do you get tested for HIV?
You can get a special blood test. Testing can be done three different ways: anonymous, non-nominal and nominal:
Anonymous Testing: When you have an HIV test done by anonymous testing, there is no way the test result can be traced to you. You make an appointment over the phone by giving a first name. You do not have to give your address, phone number or health card number. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks to get your test results. These results are not given over the phone. You have to return to the clinic to get your test results. Here are some anonymous testing clinics in Toronto.
