Anyone know where you can get tested for HIV anonymously?

[Rexus]

Much thanks for your replies guys. :)

Anyone? I can't seem to find any information online on the subject concerning Lebanon.

anywhere! you go to a hospital; to a clinic! ma7al mabya3mlo fa7ess dam! you just tell them you want to get an HIV test! that's it!

anonymously? you know they're not gonna publish it bel jarayed!
one thing you can do if you want complete discretion is to pay the test and not ask your insurance company to cover it...

[Orange angel]

Yeah, just go to any laboratory... and you don't need insurance for that. As far as i know, it's 20$ or so...

Seriously? It's not expensive thank God. Thanks for the replies I guess that's what needs to be done.

I know that in France what is called CADG that stands for Centre de depistage Anonyme et Gratuit where you can undergo test not only for HIV bit also for hepatisis A & B.
It is completely anonymous...and free.

I don't think in Lebanon that such things exist but you can still go to a lab or hospital, it is quick effective and important.

There is a very high chance of false negative test if it's been less than a month since the supposed exposure...

Right, it becomes highly reliable for HIV two months after potentiel exposure.

For hepatesis few days are enough.

you can actually do it for free...

go donate blood.. they usually run the usual tests but would inform you only if positive...

Hepatitis require more than few days...

It gets really expensive if you get a positive result
