Good to know

Your questions. Clear answers.

Do I need an appointment?

You can walk in for testing according to the current website. Book ahead for a medical consultation.

Can I test anonymously?

CheckPoint offers anonymous HIV testing. Ask which information is required for specific laboratory services and consultations.

How do I get results?

The Results button opens the secure MedSoft system. The team will explain how to access it.

I am concerned but have no symptoms.

Many infections have no symptoms. Use our testing guidance or speak with the team. For a possible HIV exposure within 72 hours, seek immediate PEP assessment.
