Step 1: Let's talk.

An Alliance counselor will address your emotional needs and concerns, while also providing the lowdown on HIV/AIDS and HCV transmission and tips for prevention.

Step 2: Get the test.

We use the Alere Determine™ HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab Combo (HIV) or OraQuick® HIV test (HIV) to detect the presence of HIV, ​and OraQuick® HCV test (HCV) to detect the presence of HCV. All tests use a a small, needle finger stick to provide clear, accurate results in just 20 minutes.

Step 3: Discuss the results. 

Based on your test report, your Alliance counselor will discuss the appropriate prevention and/or care plan options.
