Vermont CARES offers Rapid HIV testing. The test is anonymous and uses an oral swab, not a blood draw. The Rapid HIV test gives accurate results in 20 minutes and is absolutely free. Due to staff absences or holidays, testing hours are occasionally cancelled. Please call the office you plan to visit and confirm that testing is available beforehand. If you have never had an HIV test with Vermont CARES check out our new "What To Expect" section!
