An HIV test can be performed to test for antibodies that are produced as a result of exposure to the virus. This is your best defense against further infection to other individuals and ensuring you receive treatment immediately.
Non-nominal testing can be performed at any clinic on Prince Edward Island (appointments may be required), your family doctor or outpatients at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
