HIV Counseling, Testing, & Referral Services

The goal of YAP's HIV testing program is to reduce illness and death by promoting the early identification and treatment of HIV infection. HIV testing is a free service of the Youth and AIDS Projects.

Our specific objectives are to: 
  1. Make HIV antibody counseling and testing easily available.
  2. Link HIV+ youth with existing systems of care after diagnosis.

What are the testing procedures?
  • Our staff will explain the process and ask permission before testing. 
  • Complete a questionnaire with a case manager to determine your specific level of risk. 
  • We use the INSTI  HIV 1/2 test kit that is at least 99.5% accurate. Testing is done by taking one drop of blood from the finger, results are available in as quickly as one minute.
  • A case manager at YAP will provide results and post-test counseling for follow up services.

This program is open to anyone who identifies as youth/young adult. To schedule an appointment, please contact Oceane Lune.
