Before you leave
According to the official website, testing does not require an appointment. Book ahead for a medical consultation. Check the requirements for your particular sample in the price list; call if anything is unclear.
Where to come
The centre’s public address is 111 Tsar Samuil Street, Sofia. Check the contact page and map before your visit.
Conversation and confidentiality
Share your concerns and questions. The centre offers free, anonymous HIV testing. For other services, ask what information is needed and how you will receive the result; not every service is anonymous.
The appropriate test
The sample depends on the test and the exposed body site. Explain when the contact happened, whether you have symptoms and whether you take medication. You do not need to know the medical terminology beforehand.
What to prepare and how much time to allow
If you have earlier results or questions, prepare them for the conversation. Ask about documents and preparation for your chosen service. Visit length depends on the service and how busy the centre is; there is no single guaranteed duration.
Your result and next step
Timing and delivery depend on the test. The price list gives the available turnaround information; confirm with the team when and how to receive your result. If further assessment is needed, discuss who to contact.
