- depending on your results, give you information on further treatment and prevention services.
Is HIV testing free?
Yes, HIV testing is generally free. The only exceptions are if you go through private healthcare. If you have any concerns or want any further information, speak to a local healthcare provider, they should give you a good indication of where you can do this.
