I tried other clinics like CVS minute clinic not professional and hard to understand language barriers from the caregivers that we’re not doctors that could not show me a professional exam. so , I went to you guys which I was given a five stars exam a professional doctor in a man that has years of wisdom to conduct an examination he does as a pro doctor and was easy to trust . I felt a trust of a doctor of a profession not just a lab that does it for cash with nurses.

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.

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!

I am from out of state visiting in the area. I chose this facility from reading the reviews and roughly knew the area of the location. I made an online appointment. From the moment I walked into the facility, being seen and treated, I have nothing but praise and respect for the staff as well as the care I received. I’m this day and age and just visiting with having an unfortunate reason to be seen/treated I was completely satisfied. A little more pricey than I expected but what can I say? Thank you just the same for your professionalism.

Redwood City HIV Testing

Who should get tested for HIV?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for HIV, especially those who have multiple partners, engage in unprotected sex, or use intravenous drugs. It's also crucial for pregnant women to get tested to prevent mother-to-child transmission. The CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care.

Importance of getting tested

Early detection of HIV is vital for managing the disease and preventing its progression to AIDS. According to the CDC, early treatment can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others. Getting tested also promotes safer sexual behaviors, reducing the spread of HIV and other STDs/STIs.

HIV testing options in Redwood City, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer convenient and fast HIV testing services. Dignity Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Redwood City is one such facility where you can book same-day and next-day testing appointments through Solv.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers can also provide HIV testing. If you have a regular doctor, they can add HIV testing to your routine health care.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or who are underinsured, free STD testing and community health centers offer an affordable option for HIV testing.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits provide a private and convenient method of testing for HIV. These kits can be purchased online or at a local pharmacy.

Prevalence of HIV in Redwood City

While specific data for Redwood City is not readily available, San Mateo County, where Redwood City is located, has seen a steady decrease in HIV cases over the years, according to the CDC. However, this does not mean the risk is non-existent. Regular testing is still crucial to maintain this downward trend and to ensure early detection and treatment.

Risk factors related to HIV in Redwood City

Risk factors for HIV in Redwood City are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, intravenous drug use, and having another STD/STI. It's important to note that while these factors increase the risk, anyone can contract HIV, so regular testing is recommended.

Other STDs in Redwood City

In addition to HIV, other common STDs/STIs in the Redwood City area include gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis. Regular testing for these diseases is also recommended, particularly for those with increased risk factors. Many testing locations, including urgent care centers and medical laboratories, offer comprehensive STD testing. You can book same-day and next-day appointments at these locations through Solv.

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 Redwood City?

    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 Redwood City 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 Redwood City?

    Many Redwood City 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.

  • How can I book an HIV test on Solv?

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.
