Anonymous HIV Tests London means that the results of any HIV test performed will not be revealed to anybody except clinic staff.
Anonymous HIV Tests Clinics in London will usually require a person to give their details (name, age, address) to the clinic performing the test.
They then have to contact or return to the clinic after to get the results (unless a rapid test is used).
In cases where an individual does not want their name associated with their test, anonymous HIV testing may also be offered.
Anonymous testing can either be ensured by a patient giving a false name and address (which can create difficulties if a person tests positive and needs to be informed), or can be specifically requested.

HIV: Human Immunodeficiency Virus
HIV is a virus and cant grow on its own. HIV is passed on by infecting others with the virus. Unfortunately HIV attacks the immune system and makes it harder for to body to fight.
HIV causes AIDS by damaging the immune system cells until the immune system can no longer fight off other infections that it would usually be able to prevent.
It takes around ten years on average for someone with HIV to develop AIDS depending on their diet and lifestyle.
It is important for a person to get an HIV test if they think they may have been at risk of HIV infection, either due to sexual or accidental infection.
There are various types of HIV test, with the most subscribed test being – the antibody / ELISA test.
ELISA detects HIV antibodies in a person’s blood. It is necessary to wait at least 3 months after the last possible exposure before having an HIV antibody test, to be certain of an accurate result, as the HIV virus tas time to manifest in the blood stream.
The prospect of receiving a positive test result (meaning that a person is infected with HIV) may be daunting, but learning that you are HIV positive is the first step to getting support and staying healthy.
There are many NHS and Private HIV Testing Clinics in London. Most clinics offer confidential and anonymous testing.
