Testing and counseling is offered to the people in our community most affected by HIV/AIDS. We recommend that high-risk populations test for HIV every 3-6 months.

HIV Alliance offers two types of HIV tests:

  • OraSure Conventional Test: results in 2 weeks
  • OraQuick Rapid Test: results in 20 minutes

OraSure Conventional Test is an oral swab test available to all high-risk populations. This test looks for the presence of HIV antibodies in saliva. Antibodies are usually present 3-6 months after becoming infected with the virus. Test results are available in two weeks.

OraQuick Rapid Test is also an oral antibody test. Rapid test results are available in 20 minutes.  HIV Alliance is excited to offer rapid HIV Testing for gay and bisexual men, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and sexual partners of people living with HIV/AIDS.

  • 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.
  • The conventional test is available to those who may feel uncomfortable receiving their results in 20 minutes.

Additionally, we offer Hepatitis C (HCV) testing during our testing times. For more information on HCV, talk with a HIV testing counselor about qualifying in our populations.

All testing at HIV Alliance is confidential.  Click here to view HIV Alliance's Counseling and Testing Privacy Notice.
