MCAVHN provides:

• Anonymous Hepatitis C (HCV) Testing and Counseling
• Anonymous HIV Testing and Counseling
• Harm Reduction Approach

Knowledge is power.  The only way a person can know if she or he is HIV positive or HCV positive is by taking a test.  Before the test is given, staff provides information about the test and risk behaviors.  A brief risk assessment is conducted and a small amount of demographic information is collected.

MCAVHN now provides a variety of testing options for persons with high risk behaviors: men who have sex with men, injecting drug users and sexual and needle sharing partners of these risk behaviors. The HCV test is a finger poke with a drop of blood.  Results are returned in about 2 weeks. 

Due to budgetary constraints MCAVHN provides referrals for HIV testing at this time.

To learn more about your HIV or HCV status, contact MCAVHN at (707) 462-1932.  or by email bradw@mcavn.org
