Our Health Program Centers Outreach: Our Outreach Coordinators work with various community organizations and individuals, such as local churches, schools and businesses to assist community members to access all the programs and services SBNC has to offer. With Our Person-to-Person "Promotores" Program, the HPC Outreach Coordinator invites small groups of primarily Hispanic women (10-12 persons) to attend evening talks on SBNC's low-cost health services. Presentations focus on breast health, well-child exams, children's health insurance, smoking cessation, women's health, HIV/AIDS, diabetes management and nutrition education.
HIV / Hepatitis C SERVICES: HIV & HCV TESTING
Who is Eligible?
The tests are free, anonymous and available to persons 13 years of age and older.
What is Offered?
- All three Clinics offer HIV Antibody Testing at various hours (see below) without an appointment. It includes a risk assessment counseling before the test specimen is taken. It takes one week to get the results back. Patients are asked for a donation of their choosing to cover the costs of the test and the counselor time. No One is turned away for inability to donate. There is a disclosure session during which the counselor gives the results to the client and answers any questions. If referrals are needed or further testing is indicated it is done at the disclosure session. Follow-up counseling is available if needed.
- Hepatitis C testing is also offered at the same clinic times and locations as the HIV testing. The same procedure is followed as with the HIV testing. Both tests can be drawn and performed at the same time when needed.
- The times for these tests change. Please call the clinic to confirm the times.
