I understand that Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is an infection which weakens the human immune system. More details about HIV are available here.

The purpose of this HIV test is to determine whether HIV antigens and antibodies are present in my blood. Details about the types of testing that will be used on my blood, as well as the meaning of reactive (positive) and non-reactive (negative) test results are available here. The limitations of HIV testing include false positive test results, false negative test results, indeterminate results requiring re-test or additional testing, and the possibility that a recent infection may not be detected.

I understand that I have the opportunity to ask questions about HIV, this HIV test, and the possible results by calling 1-855-552-3244. Resources about HIV infection and interventions to reduce transmission are available here. I understand that there are treatment options and resources available for HIV infection, and more information is available by contacting the phone number listed above or my local health department.

I understand that submitting to this test is my voluntary choice, and that free and anonymous testing may be available in the state where I am located, subject to applicable laws and regulations. I understand that my test results, if positive for HIV, may be reported to my state or local health department or similar epidemiological authorities, consistent with applicable state law, and that I may be asked to disclose a positive result to sexual partners or others who have had contact with my bodily fluids.

If I am in Colorado or Hawaii, I understand that I can engage in verbal counseling about sexually transmitted infections and about HIV specifically. By proceeding without counseling, I am voluntarily waiving my right to verbal counseling.
