O HIV test can be done free in the Health Units of the Health Unic System (SUS), Maternities, Hospitals and Testing and Counseling Centers (CTA).
The examination can also be done in private laboratories, but in this case it is not free.
The HIV test can be done anonymously and the result is exclusively for personal and non-transferable access. The examination can be done even without the medical request.
The HIV virus can be transmitted from unprotected sex (not by using a condom), by sharing contaminated needles and syringes and unsterilized cutting instruments, in work-related accidents of health professionals, from mother to child, and by blood transfusion.
Preventing yourself is the best way to avoid contamination with the HIV virus.
