Melanie went out of her way to accommodate my husband and me when we came in to get Covid tests. Due to our unforeseen scheduling error, we didn't have an appointment at that time, but she said we could wait in case she could fit us in between patients, even though they were fully booked. She was able to complete our tests quickly and courteously. We were extremely pleased with the care we received. Thanks, Melanie!

Carbon Health Urgent Care, Castro - 1998 Market St
Dr Fitzpatrick was thoughtful and attentive and did what tests she could. Her diagnosis of pneumonia was not confirmed by the staff at CPMC, however. It seems I have some sort of infection, maybe more than one—perhaps bronchitis for one. The high pulse rate was due to dehydration. BTW the X-ray copy I took to the hospital was incompatible with its system. Nonetheless I appreciate the care I was given at Carbon.

Wait time was good, got in at 1:40pm for my 1:30pm appointment. Staff was friendly and explained things to me. I did kind of get the impression that they were tired of me because I was trying to ask clarifying questions to make sure that later on I will not be thinking about the questions I was afraid to ask :P. It’s very easy for me to just accept what I’m told, and not ask anything, but I’m trying to learn to advocate for myself because it seems like that’s what is needed in healthcare. But I could tell they were definitely getting tired of me asking my dumb questions and just repeating answers they already gave because I was obviously didn’t hear it the first time. I probably need to work on my communication skills because I don’t feel like either of us felt like we were getting through to the other person. It felt like we both felt like we knew what the other person was saying and that they just weren’t willing to hear it.

Half Moon Bay HIV Testing

Who should get tested for HIV?

According to the CDC, everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care. However, those who engage in certain risk behaviors should get tested more often. These behaviors include having sex without a condom, having multiple sexual partners, being a man who has sex with men, having sex with someone who is HIV-positive, and injecting drugs.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for HIV is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it allows individuals to know their HIV status, enabling them to take steps to protect their own health and that of others. Secondly, if a person tests positive for HIV, they can start treatment sooner, which can significantly improve their health, prolong their life, and reduce the chances of transmitting the virus to others.

HIV testing options in Half Moon Bay, CA

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide a convenient option for HIV testing. Carbon Health Urgent & Primary Care in nearby San Mateo offers short wait times and friendly staff. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another good option for HIV testing. If you already have a primary care provider, you can ask them to test you for HIV. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in your area.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Community health centers often offer free or low-cost HIV testing. Dignity Health- GoHealth Urgent Care in Redwood City is one such facility.

At-home testing

At-home HIV testing kits are also available. These allow you to take the test at your convenience and in the privacy of your own home. The results are usually available within 40 minutes.

Prevalence of HIV in Half Moon Bay

As of the latest data, the prevalence of HIV in Half Moon Bay, which is part of San Mateo County, is lower than the national average. However, it's important to remember that these numbers only represent diagnosed cases. There may be many more people who are HIV-positive but don't know it because they haven't been tested.

Risk factors related to HIV in Half Moon Bay

Risk factors for HIV in Half Moon Bay are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, injecting drugs, and having sex with someone who has HIV.

Other STDs in Half Moon Bay

In addition to HIV, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis are also prevalent in Half Moon Bay. The rates of these STDs are generally in line with national averages. However, as with HIV, many cases may go undiagnosed due to lack of testing. Therefore, it's important to get tested regularly if you engage in behaviors that put you at risk.

HIV Test FAQs

  • Who should get an HIV test?

    Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should take an HIV test at least once in their lives. Some people are more likely to get HIV and should be tested more regularly. Those who have had sex with an HIV-positive partner, those who inject drugs, sexually active gay men, and those who have unprotected sex are all included. You should get checked every 6-12 months if you have any of these risk factors.

  • How do they test for HIV?

    Antibodies created by your body in reaction to the virus are examined in HIV tests. A blood test or a sample of cells obtained from the inside of the cheek can be used to do this. After that, the sample is transported to a lab, where a technician will look for antibodies.

  • How long should I wait to get an HIV test?

    It can take a long time for your body to build enough antibodies for an HIV test to detect the illness if you become sick. It may take 3-12 weeks for your blood to contain adequate antibodies. Even if you have HIV, you could have a negative test result during this time.

  • How long will I have to wait for HIV test results in Half Moon Bay?

    Because the sample must be sent to a laboratory for investigation, most HIV test results might take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. On the other hand, some Half Moon Bay clinics or doctor's offices may offer rapid HIV testing, which can deliver a diagnosis in as little as 20 minutes. Rapid HIV testing involve a little sample of blood or fluid obtained from the mouth. You'll need a follow-up blood test to confirm the diagnosis if a fast test comes up positive.

  • How much does an HIV test cost?

    A variety of factors influence the cost of an HIV test, including the type of test you receive, the location where you are tested, and whether or not you have health insurance. HIV testing may be provided for free or at a low cost by some clinics or health authorities. If you're a college student, you might be able to get free HIV tests through your school.

  • Is HIV testing covered by my insurance?

    The majority of insurance coverage cover HIV testing. The Affordable Care Act mandates that all new health plans provide free HIV testing for those aged 15 to 65. If you have any doubts about what is covered under your individual health plan, you can always call your insurance company or go to their website.

  • Where can I get an HIV test in Half Moon Bay?

    Many Half Moon Bay health clinics, doctor's offices, and the health department offer HIV testing. Some pharmacies with on-site clinics may also be able to give HIV testing. Even though some clinics accept walk-in appointments, making an appointment ahead of time will save you time and ensure that you receive your test on the same day.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for HIV testing?

    Yes, Solv offers same-day and next-day HIV testing appointments. We collaborate with thousands of healthcare providers across the country to make it easier for everyone to access the medical assistance they require quickly and conveniently. On our website, you can choose a physician near you and make an appointment right now.

Fill out the form to arrange an appointment at a time and location that is convenient for you. Make certain that your appointment is for "HIV testing."

  • Can I test myself for HIV at home?

    Although there are several home HIV tests available, not all of them are accurate or FDA-approved. For a home test, you'll need a swab from the inside of your mouth or a blood sample taken with a finger pricker. If you get a positive result on a home HIV test, you should see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment.
