HIV Alliance is excited to now offer HIV Rapid Testing for gay and bisexual men, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and sexual partners of people living with HIV/AIDS.

Similar to the OraSure Conventional test, the OraQuick Rapid test is an oral antibody test. This test looks for the presence of HIV antibodies in saliva. Antibodies are usually present 3-6 months after becoming infected with the virus. Rapid test results are available in 20 minutes.
  • Results are over 99% accurate.
  • If a result is "reactive" the result is considered to be a "preliminary positive" and an additional confirmatory test is needed.
  • HIV Alliance will cover the cost for any confirmatory testing at Oregon Medical Labs.
  • A conventional test is also available to those who may feel uncomfortable receiving their results in 20 minutes.
  • Conventional test results are available in two weeks.
