Sheryl Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 All government Health Centers and hospitals, even small district ones, can do HIV test. Likewise any private hospital. If having the test only to fulfill a requirement (pre-surgery or whatever) any of these will do. However if having the test because you are concerned about possibly being positive them you might want to be more selective. Anyplace with the reagent can do the test, but some skill and sensitivity is needed to provide the counselling, and also for a farang, English speaking. People fralling into the second category wiould be well advised to go to the red Cross clinic or one of the international hospitals (BRG, Samitivej, Bkk, BNH etc). The test can be done on the spot, but as it checks for antibodies, it may show up negative for people in the very early stages of infection, hence the recommendation to repeat it in 3 months for people who think they may have been exposed. This does not apply to people with no known exposure who are having the tets as part of a routine requirement. It is possible to test for the presence of the virus itself and thereby detect infection in early stages, but the test is time-consuming and expensive so not routinely used, although it can be obtained at the hospitals mentioned above (probably need to see an HIV specialist for it).

Ijustwannateach Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 In Bangkok, it's on Ratchadamri road- it's the oddly shaped building that looks something like a castle, turrets and everything. Just up that road from the end of Silom and Rama IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
