Where to go for a Test

You can get an HIV test at your GP or a sexual health centre. If you do not wish to go to your regular GP, then the AIDS council in your state or territory will be able to recommend a GP with experience in HIV testing.

If you would like to have an HIV test, or if you want a sexual health check up, use these directories to locate a service near you:

The ASHM directory of services

The Australasian Chapter of Sexual Health Medicine

For information about HIV, STIs, or about other HIV and STI education and support services, contact the AIDS Council or PLWHA organisation in your State or Territory:

For more information about HIV, STIs, including testing for these, or to discuss any of the other topics covered on this website, please contact your local AIDS Councils. Most AIDS Councils also stock cheap condoms and lube.
