HIV TESTING/COUNSELING
SHIAWASSEE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT offers both anonymous and confidential HIV testing. An anonymous test does not require any personal identification. A confidential test requires your name, but will remain confidential.
The test is usually conducted using Orasure, an oral swab method that is painless and does not require a blood draw.
HIV testing is available at the SCHD with a public health nurse who is certified through the Michigan Department of Community Health to conduct HIV testing and counseling.
