NAP provides free, confidential or anonymous HIV testing and counseling with results available the same day. NAP can test anyone age 13 and older. HIV testing includes a brief counseling session to discuss potentially high risk behaviors and gives you a chance to ask questions in privacy.
NAP also offers urine tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia in some locations. These are not same day results. An HIV test is always required prior to the STI test (though you can get an HIV test without an STI test). A $10 fee is requested as this covers the cost of the test and treatment if you should test positive for either STI. While HIV testing can be done anonymously, STI testing must be done confidentially, which means you will need to provide information such as your name, date of birth, and telephone number. For STI testing, please refrain from urinating two hours prior to getting tested. Please note: NAP office phones are not answered after 5pm during walk-in testing.
2020 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE:
NAP offices are closed on the following holidays each year: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, the day before Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday.
In addition to the standard holiday scheduling above, there will be no testing offered on: December 26th, December 27th, December 28th, and December 31st.
