Testing

Getting an HIV test is the best way to ensure that you and your partners remain as safe and healthy as possible.  If you wait until you have symptoms, it can be much harder to treat with medication.  With the medication available today, it is entirely possible to live a long and healthy life with an HIV diagnosis but getting tested early is the key.

At New Mexico AIDS Services, we provide free and anonymous HIV testing. 

HIV Testing
Free & anonymous HIV testing and counseling is offered to anyone who is interested in knowing their status.
