I love the doctor here. He is really caring and actually builds a report with his patients even though it's basically a walk in clinic. I had been there over the summer a few times and here we are November and he remembered me. I think when doctors take the time to build relationships with patients it makes the experience much more personal and the quality always much more efficient. The check in process is simple. And making the appointment is also extremely easy I always get in the same day ...either by their user friendly app or the actual have a live person answer the phone and do it for u. Best walk in clinic I have ever experienced

Shelton HIV Testing

Who should get tested for HIV?

Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care, according to the CDC. However, those who engage in risky behaviors such as unprotected sex, sharing needles for drug use, or having multiple partners should get tested more frequently. It's also crucial for pregnant women to get tested to prevent mother-to-child transmission.

Importance of getting tested

Early detection of HIV is vital for managing the disease and preventing its spread. If left untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS, which can be life-threatening. Regular testing allows for early intervention and treatment, which can significantly improve the quality of life and lifespan of those infected.

HIV testing options in Shelton, CT:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care centers like PhysicianOne Urgent Care in Derby and Priority Urgent Care in Oxford offer HIV testing. These facilities often have shorter wait times and extended hours compared to traditional doctor's offices. You can book same-day and next-day appointments through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers also offer HIV testing. If you have a primary care provider, they can incorporate HIV testing into your regular health care routine.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Community health centers often offer free or low-cost HIV testing. These centers are a valuable resource, especially for those without insurance or with limited income.

At-home testing

At-home HIV testing kits are available for those who prefer privacy. These kits can be purchased online or at a local pharmacy.

Prevalence of HIV in Shelton

While specific data for Shelton is not readily available, New Haven County, where Shelton is located, has seen a steady rate of HIV cases over the years. According to the CDC, the HIV prevalence in New Haven County is slightly higher than the national average but lower than some nearby counties such as Hampden County and Worcester County.

Risk factors related to HIV in Shelton

Risk factors for HIV in Shelton are similar to those nationwide. These include unprotected sex, intravenous drug use, and having multiple sexual partners. It's important to note that while these factors increase the risk of HIV, anyone can contract the virus.

Other STDs in Shelton

In addition to HIV, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are present in Shelton. The prevalence of these diseases is comparable to the national average. Regular testing for all STDs is recommended for sexually active individuals.

Remember, it's easier than ever to get tested. With 224 nearby locations, including urgent care centers and medical laboratories, you can book same-day and next-day testing appointments through Solv’s website and mobile app.

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 Shelton?

    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 Shelton 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 Shelton?

    Many Shelton 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?

    Simply type "HIV test" and your location into our website's search box. You'll find a list of providers and their available appointment times on the next page. 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.
