Answer
If your HIV test result is reactive, which means positive (+), on our initial test, our counselor will perform a second rapid test. If this test is reactive as well, you are HIV positive. and your tester can help schedule you an appointment with the Infectious Disease Center to get additional lab work performed. If you test positive, Caracole can:
- Explain HIV/AIDS—what your test results mean, what kind of treatment is available and how to access it, etc.
- Help you access benefits and medication, if you qualify
- Provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential environment
- Help you set up a medical appointment with a physician who specializes in HIV care and provide any referrals to additional services you may need.
