The only reason I didn’t give wait time a 5 star review is because I had scheduled my appointment and did my registration online and I still had to wait about 30 minutes. I expected to wait about 15 minutes but not 30. I probably could have just walked in and waited the same amount of time because I was the only one in the waiting room when I got there. However, on the plus side, I was still called back and attended to promptly before the others who checked in after me were called back.

Scheduling was easy.  I have secondary ins and system wouldn’t let me upload my card.  They need to fix that.  I got there first and was seen right away, got a thoughtful diagnosis, she checked something I hadn’t thought of too.  They called with lab results and advice on next steps.   I am starting to feel better.

East Ridge 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 at higher risk should get tested more often. This includes individuals who are sexually active, have multiple partners, use intravenous drugs, or are men who have sex with men. In East Ridge, TN, it's especially crucial for individuals who fall into these categories to get tested regularly.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for HIV is essential for both personal health and the health of the community. Early detection of HIV can lead to early treatment, which can significantly improve the quality of life and lifespan for those infected. Moreover, knowing one's HIV status can also help prevent the spread of the virus to others.

HIV testing options in East Ridge, TN:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are excellent options for HIV testing in East Ridge. One highly rated location is Physicians Care in East Ridge, TN, with a 4.8 rating based on 6209 reviews. This clinic, located at 403 McBrien Rd, offers same-day and next-day appointments through Solv's website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another good option for HIV testing. They can offer a personalized approach to testing and treatment, based on an individual's unique health history and lifestyle.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those who may not have insurance or are seeking affordable testing options, free STD testing and community health centers are available. These centers often provide testing for other STDs/STIs, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis, in addition to HIV.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are also available for those who prefer privacy or cannot easily access a testing center. These kits can be ordered online and used at home, with results typically available within a few days.

Prevalence of HIV in East Ridge

While exact numbers for East Ridge are not readily available, data from the CDC indicates that the South has the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in the country. This suggests that HIV may be a significant health issue in East Ridge and the surrounding areas, including nearby cities such as Fort Oglethorpe, Fairview, Chattanooga, and Lookout Mountain.

Risk factors related to HIV in East Ridge

Risk factors for HIV in East Ridge are likely similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, intravenous drug use, and being a man who has sex with men. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as poverty and lack of access to healthcare can also increase the risk of HIV.

Other STDs in East Ridge

In addition to HIV, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis are also prevalent in East Ridge. These STDs/STIs often share similar risk factors with HIV, and many can be tested for at the same locations as HIV. Therefore, individuals who are at risk for HIV should also consider getting tested for these other STDs/STIs.

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 East Ridge?

    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 East Ridge 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 East Ridge?

    Many East Ridge 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.

  • 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.
