Be sure. Be safe. Be tested.

HIV Testing

Once HIV enters the body, the body starts to produce antibodies—substances the immune system creates after infection.
There are many different kinds of HIV tests, including rapid tests and home test kits.
All HIV tests approved by the US government are very good at detecting HIV. See the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Q&A on testing for more information.

Heartland Health Resource Center offers free rapid testing at our office

Many places offer HIV testing: doctors’ offices, hospitals, and sites specifically set up to provide HIV testing.
You can locate a testing site by visiting the South Dakota Department of Health web page, the CDC HIV testing database or by calling CDC-INFO (formerly the CDC National AIDS Hotline) at 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) 24 Hours/Day.
You do not have to give any personal information about yourself to use these services or to locate a testing site.
