With an anonymous test, you DO NOT use your name, and your name is not associated with your test result. Anonymous tests are offered at anonymous testing centers, available in many, but not all, states. Confidential tests, the kind you would get at your health care provider's office, DO use your name. If you do test positive, your name will be known to your health care provider and, potentially, to other health care professionals and, in some cases, your state's Department of Health. There are also home tests available in drug stores - you pinch your finger and send the blood to a laboratory.
Counseling is available over the phone.
These kits, however, are expensive. Even though there are lots of ways to get tested, getting tested can be stressful. Find someone whom you trust to talk to while you're waiting for your result.
