Your counsellor will collect you from the waiting room. You will then receive your HIV test results.If you test negative the counsellor will discuss with you plans to maintain your negative status . If you have potentially been exposed in any way to HIV just before you came to get tested, you will be encouraged to come back for retesting.
If you test positive the counsellor will discuss with you plans to remain healthy and to manage the virus effectively. You will also be referred for post-test support and care services, including ARV therapy.
Clients can come back for follow up counselling if needed and are also encouraged to invite their spouses or partners to come for counselling and testing.
