TESTING — Knowledge is power
No one wants to think that they might have contracted a serious illness. The fear of wondering whether you are HIV-positive can be paralyzing. But when it comes to HIV, knowledge truly is power. An early diagnosis and prompt treatment can halt the progression of the illness, enabling a person infected with HIV to live a healthy life. Knowing your HIV status will also enable you to not pass the virus on to others, preventing others from carrying the same weight and worry you are carrying with you now. And every step of the way, the supportive staff at BCAP will be with you, offering counseling, compassion and advocacy. Whether your test is negative or positive, we are here for you.
Where to Get Tested in and Around Boulder
BCAP maintains a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Boulder Public Health Department for HIV testing and counseling. BCAP does not provide regular in-house testing hours to the general population, referring these appointments to Boulder Public Health. BCAP prioritizes populations not accessing traditional testing resources, such as a public health department or private physicians, and reaches those most at risk for infection.
However, through state funding, BCAP prevention programs Atlas and Hispanos Para la Salud provide free HIV testing to men who have sex with men (MSM) and Latino/Hispanic individuals, respectively. Please use the below contact information to access staff members of those programs.
