 Hi Brad, Rapid testing for HIV is available throughout Canada. Just contact your local AIDS service organization for the site closest to you. Google AIDS service organizations and the name of your city or town. You must wait until the three-month mark for a conclusive HIV-antibody test. I believe the Hepatitis C rapid test is still awaiting approval in Canada as it is here in the USA. The usual Hep C tests are, of course, routinely available. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
