HIV TESTING
Since 1989 we have been a testing site for our community providing stigma and discrimination-free services. A place where anyone can come, get tested, and access prevention and treatment resourses. By breaking down these barriers to care, we can help underserved communities stay healthy.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) does not discriminate. Therefore, anyone can become infected regardless of gender, age, race, sex, or sexuality.
We believe that everyone should get tested if they are unaware of their HIV status. Getting tested for HIV on a routine basis is a simple and powerful way to take control of your health and your partner’s well-being (s). At Bienestar we offer free, confidential testing services as well as treatment and medical care in the case of a positive result.
“The only way to know your HIV status is to get tested. Knowing your status gives you powerful information to keep you and your partner healthy.”

Who should get tested?
HIV can be transmitted through various means, including sexual contact or sharing needles with an HIV-infected individual. Therefore, it is highly recommended to get tested if you have been in any risky situations involving blood-to-blood contact with someone whose HIV status you are unsure of.
When you get tested, our HIV counselors can also help answer any questions or concerns you may have.
We also bring mobile testing vans to local bars, clubs, parks, and community events to offer free HIV testing as a service to the Greater Los Angeles community. So look for our Bienestar vans and get tested with us!
