The monthly rapid HIV testing clinic takes place in the Rainbow Pride of West Virginia office, located at 501 Elizabeth Street (back entrance) in Charleston’s East End. It is a private, safe location.

The OraQuick Rapid HIV Test, which requires only a quick swab of the upper and lower gums, and results are available while you wait. However, since your visit will require 30-60 minutes of your time (depending on the need for additional testing and counseling), you must call to make an appointment.

For more information or to make an appointment, you can call Chuck at home (304-768-1005) or at my office (304-558-6469). Please leave a message on my voice mail if necessary.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is now recommending that any adult who has never been tested for HIV ought to be offered an HIV test at least once as a part of any medical treatment. Gay men should consider getting tested for HIV at least once a year, although this may depend on sexual habits, condom use, relationship status, etc.

If you wish to be tested for HIV but are not able to come to my clinic this Saturday, please call me anyway, because I may be able to make alternative arrangements more convenient for you.

Please feel free to pass this information along to anyone you think may benefit.

This monthly HIV screening clinic is project of the West Virginia Division of Health & Human Resources, STD & HIV Program.
