COVID-19 Update:

NZAF centres are closed but we are still sending self-test kits. Other services will be affected, we recommend calling ahead.

It’s quick and easy to get a private and confidential HIV & STIs test. Find your nearest testing centre or order a home test.

Testing is one of the most important things you can do to help end HIV transmissions in New Zealand. Most new HIV transmissions occur when people don’t know they are living with HIV and aren’t on treatment.

Plus, it’s free if you meet the criteria!

I don’t have any symptoms

Testing should be a part of a regular sexual-health schedule, not just something you do when things hurt or pustules pop up. Not having any symptoms is pretty common with HIV and a lot of other STIs – you should still be testing regularly.

I don’t want to talk to about sex

We totally get it – talking to someone about your sexual escapades can be intimidating. This is why our peer testers are knowledgeable gay and bi guys who can create a judgement-free space and chat with you about risk and testing from the standpoint of someone who’s been there.

I’m afraid of the results

We promise you, it’s better to know. If the result is positive, your life isn’t over. You will be connected to care and support and can live your life with the same dreams and goals. You’ll also likely get to an undetectable viral load and then HIV won’t be transmitted through sex – even without condoms.

If this happened in the last 72 hours you can consider PEP - pills you can take after sex that may stop an HIV infection

The soonest you can test for HIV is 2-4 weeks after a risk event (e.g. unprotected sex) and you will be asked to test again 12 weeks after the event. Find out more about the window period.

If you’ve had a risk event and have already been tested since then, please only book your follow-up test for 12 weeks from the date of that event. Tests booked within the 12 week window period may not show an accurate result.

Ok, we’ll only show you testing options that can provide quick treatment as well.

For the best care while using PrEP, we recommend testing for HIV with your prescribing doctor or local sexual health clinic who should also be testing you for other STIs and kidney function.

For PEP follow-up, you need to see the doctor who prescribed it to you.
