There are several ways to get an HIV test. Depending on where you live, HIV testing may be available through healthcare providers, sexual health clinics, community testing services, pharmacies or as an HIV self-test for use at home.
An HIV self-test can be performed in your own home or another private location. Self-tests may be available through pharmacies, healthcare or community organisations, or can be ordered online.
If you prefer professional testing, you can visit a healthcare provider, sexual health clinic or other HIV testing service. The type of test offered and how long it takes to receive the result will depend on the testing service and test used.
If you choose a self-test, always follow the Instructions for Use supplied with the specific product. You can view our available HIV self-tests here.
If you are unsure which type of HIV test is appropriate or when to test after a possible exposure, see our When to test for HIV? page.
