Frequently asked questions
What happens at HIV post-test counselling?
Your doctor gives you the result in private, explains what it means and answers your questions. If the result is positive, you talk through treatment, further tests and support. If it is negative, the discussion covers prevention and when a repeat test may be sensible.
Will anyone else find out my HIV test result?
No. Your result and the counselling conversation are confidential and stay in your medical record. Nothing is shared with employers, family or anyone else without your consent.
Can I get HIV treatment started at Eastgate Clinic after a positive result?
Your doctor can arrange the confirmatory and baseline tests needed, discuss starting antiretroviral treatment, or refer you to an HIV programme depending on your situation. Ongoing follow-up can be arranged in our rooms.
