HIV Screening update

Florida Department of Health in Hardee County

HIV screening is available Monday through Friday as part of an STD screening visit. Scheduled appointments are preferred to reduce wait times and can usually be arranged the same day they are requested. Results are available within two to three weeks. All services are confidential, and test results may now be received by phone once identity verification is completed. A positive test result will prompt a referral for further evaluation, lab tests, and treatment.
