Collins Northern Colorado AIDS Project 107 Cameron Street Ft. If you have done any of the following, you may be at risk for HIV infection, or you may be placing others at risk for HIV infection. No, you cannot get HIV from taking an HIV test. I've heard the words anonymous and confidential in regards to HIV testing.
Anonymous testing is very limited in the state of Colorado.
The person being tested is not asked their name, just a few questions regarding race, age, county and possible risk factors. All information is confidential, but reported to the state health department in the event that the antibody test is returned positive. By law, any medical provider that provides services for an HIV or AIDS related condition is required to report such activity to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. You must attend your testing site and give them the proper identification before this information is released. For more information regarding anonymous vs. confidential testing, call your local health department.
