About this service
NARSF Programs through Island Health Funding is able to offer free, confidential HIV testing at its 375 Franklyn Street location
With new treatment options, BC is moving towards an AIDS free generation. Finding people who are unaware of their HIV status is a cornerstone for preventing HIV infection in others. Testing identifies those who could initiate HIV drug treatment and links those who are not well connected to the health system with services. Evidence shows that individuals who are aware of their HIV status are more likely to alter their behavior to decrease the risk of transmitting the virus. Though some people may feel that pretending the virus does not exist or ignoring their personal risk factors is the most comfortable way to approach the issue, many others have found that simply by being tested, great peace of mind can be achieved. The future is yours!
Knowing your HIV status is a game changer. New drugs effectively treat HIV like never before.
