Out of the Closet Thrift Stores - HIV Testing

In addition to normal retail operations, several Out of the Closet Thrift Stores offer free HIV testing and counseling in a private area of each store.

How testing works

For more information about the Out of the Closet Testing program, please call the program manager at (213) 405-5818.

Tests are performed by certified testing counselors, using the OraQuick Rapid Advance test.

The OraQuick Rapid Advance is an oral rapid test. The person being tested for HIV gently swabs the device completely around the outer gums, both upper and lower, one time around. RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE IN 20 MINUTES!

New Testing Locations!

AHF is proud to introduce Rapid HIV Testing at more Out of the Closet Thrift Stores in Florida and California. (See testing schedules on the right)

What to expect:
Select Out of the Closet testing stores provide confidential testing services utilizing the OraQuick Advanced Rapid HIV Antibody Test. A blood sample is taken by a simple finger-stick procedure and the test is processed in 20 minutes! While you wait, our counselors will address any questions you have about HIV transmission, as well as protecting yourself and your partner(s) from future infection. We offer confidential testing at all sites.

We recommend that anyone who is sexually active, uses IV drugs, or has had exposure to HIV, get tested every six months.

Get tested whether you are married, in a monogamous relationship, or participate in casual sex.

Our friendly, knowledgeable Counselors are on site to provide HIV prevention counseling and testing on. Services are free of charge with no appointment necessary. Of course, donations are always gratefully accepted.
