Rapid HIV & Syphilis Testing
Finding out your status is easy…
A simple pin-prick is done to test the blood with over 99.2% accuracy, with results available within 20 minutes of having the test.
Its never been easier to have a Rapid HIV & Syphilis Test, simply along to Body Positive House in Auckland during one of our drop-in clinics for a fast free 60-second test - no appointment needed! Testing is also at selected Sex on Site Venues in Auckland on a monthly schedule.
Its always better to know your status early so you can keep healthy and get treated or start treatment as early as possible.
Know Your Status
The only way to know if you have HIV or Syphilis is to get tested. You can then get the treatment and care you need.
It’s important to know your status and start treatment as soon as possible, as it can help you to stay healthy, to live a long life and to avoid passing HIV or Syphilis on to others.
After HIV or Syphilis enters the body, it may take time before the test can detect the virus (this is known as the window period). Different tests have different window periods - but all tests give accurate results within a three month period.

Don’t wait…
Don’t wait. Get tested regularly!
You can’t always tell if you have been infected with HIV or Syphilis by how you feel.
With HIV, some people have flu-like symptoms when they first get infected (fever, sore throat or swollen glands). But some people have no symptoms at all.
With Syphilis, the first visible sign is a small, painless sore (doctors call it a “chancre”) on the skin. The sore won’t hurt, and it may be hidden inside your rectum or vagina. You might not even know you have it.
