It's easier to cope with HIV when you are healthy than when you are ill. You don't have to deal with it alone. The counselling that is part of the HIV test will give you the information and support you need to assess your risk and deal with test results. Make sure you get the counselling and information you need before you agree to be tested. I don't want to be tested, because I don't want people to find out.
Anonymous testing is now available in New Brunswick.
Information is not kept that links your name to your test or your results. Your results won't show up on your medical records unless you choose to tell your doctor. Not all testing sites can do anonymous testing. If you book an appointment, make sure you ask what type of testing is available and how your results will be kept. Anonymous testing is available through Sexual Health Centres in each health region in New Brunswick.
