counselling

Offers anonymous testing and counselling at the clinic by the HIV specialist nurse. The nurse can also test blood for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis. This can all be done in the same appointment but tests for hep B, hep C, and syphilis are not anonymous. They are non-nominal, which means that the blood will be sent to the lab with a code number on it, instead of a name. However, you will be required to give your correct name to the nurse.
