You may qualify to receive a free home HIV test from PILLAR.
Why Get Tested
- If you test positive: You can start treatment. PILLAR will link you to a service provider that will assist you with all your medical needs free of charge.
- If you test negative: You can protect yourself. A negative result can remind you how important it is for you or your partner to wear a condom — especially when you consider that 1 in 8 people with the virus don’t know they have HIV.
- When people know their HIV status, they have powerful information they can use to take care of themselves.
It is especially important for all people at risk of HIV to get tested, however, for the purpose of this Free Home HIV Test, PILLAR is focusing on men who have sex with men. If you consider yourself to be high risk but do not meet the criteria you may want to visit your local health department or medical provider.
