What to Expect During Your First HIV Test

Taking an HIV test for the first time can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be. At MeroMed Health, we prioritize comfort, confidentiality, and compassion.

What Happens During the Test?

Your visit will start with a brief conversation with one of our trained health professionals. We’ll explain the test, answer any questions, and make sure you feel supported. The test itself is quick—often just a finger prick or oral swab.

How Long Do Results Take?

Some rapid tests provide results in 20 minutes. If further lab work is needed, we’ll explain the process and follow up promptly.

Why It Matters

Early detection saves lives. Testing is the first step in staying healthy and protecting others.
