That is why getting tested for HIV is so important for each and every guy, whether you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or transgender.

The Young Men’s Program sponsors free and confidential HIV Counseling and Testing in partnership with Planned Parenthood of Nassau County. A trained educator will talk to you about your risks and take a drop of your blood for the test – it’s called OraQuick. You’ll get your results in about 20 minutes. If you test negative, you’ll receive information about how you can stay that way. If you test positive, you’ll make an appointment to take another test to confirm the results. And if that test turns up positive, we can link you with support and resources to help you deal with it.
