Gannett offers two types of confidential HIV tests: blood testing (blood draw) and OraSure (oral swab). Blood testing costs $25 and Orasure (oral swab) is $45.

The charges for HIV antibody tests can be paid with cash, check, most credit cards or bursared. Financial concerns should never be a barrier to getting the healthcare or tests that you need. If the cost of an HIV antibody test at Gannett poses a financial hardship or obstacle, please talk with one of our Patient Advocates.

All patients who come to Gannett can ask for an HIV test at the time of a visit. When you call to make your appointment, tell them you will also want an HIV test during your time at Gannett.
