Quest Diagnostics - 1919 Lathrop St
I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Fairbanks HIV Testing

Who should get tested for HIV?

It's essential for everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 to get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care, according to the CDC. More frequent testing is recommended for those at higher risk, such as sexually active gay and bisexual men, people who inject drugs, or anyone who has had more than one sexual partner since their last HIV test.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for HIV is crucial for both individual and public health. Early detection can lead to early treatment, which can greatly improve the prognosis and quality of life for those living with the virus. Additionally, knowing one's HIV status can help prevent the spread of the virus to others.

At-home HIV testing kits are also available for those who prefer privacy. These kits can be purchased online or at a local pharmacy and allow individuals to test themselves in the comfort of their own homes.

Prevalence of HIV in Fairbanks

While Fairbanks has a lower HIV prevalence rate compared to the national average, it's important to note that HIV cases have been reported in the city. The rate of HIV in Fairbanks, as well as nearby cities such as College and Badger, is lower than in larger urban areas but comparable to other cities of similar size.

Risk factors related to HIV in Fairbanks

Risk factors for HIV in Fairbanks are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, injecting drugs, and having another sexually transmitted infection. It's important to understand these risk factors and take appropriate precautions to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

Other STDs in Fairbanks

In addition to HIV, other sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis are also present in Fairbanks. The prevalence of these STDs is also lower than the national average but still poses a significant public health concern. Regular testing for these STDs is recommended for sexually active individuals.

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 Fairbanks?

    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 Fairbanks 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 Fairbanks?

    Many Fairbanks 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.
