You can get rapid HIV testing on the street in Yekaterinburg.

      The mobile HIV testing point — the AIDS Center’s van with a red ribbon — has been operating in Yekaterinburg for 15 years. Over the next three days it will appear again on the streets of the Ural capital, the AIDS Center said.

      The next rapid HIV testing events will take place at the following locations: November 19 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Megapolis shopping center, November 20 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Dirizhabl shopping center, and November 21 from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Raduga Park shopping center.

      A few minutes are spent on consultations before and after the test, and about 10 minutes waiting for the result.

      “HIV testing is always anonymous: no documents are required, only disposable equipment is used, and the accuracy of the rapid test is comparable to that of a laboratory analysis,” the AIDS Center said.

      “We are proud of the people of Yekaterinburg. For them, the topic of HIV infection is not taboo. Standing in a small queue at the testing van is normal. Such openness is an important part of caring for one’s health,” notes the chief physician of the AIDS Center, Anzhelika Podymova.
