On-demand HIV testing now available in labs across Interior Health

People can go to an IH lab for an HIV test without having to first visit a physician

Anyone wanting to get tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can do so at a nearby Interior Health lab, including the ones in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

Patients can visit any IH lab and get an HIV test without having to first visit their physician or nurse practitioner.

Patients can fill out a lab requisition on their own and take it to the lab, ask the lab for the test to be done, or ask to have the test added to existing blood work being ordered.

“Today, thanks to early diagnosis and advancements in treatment and care, HIV is a chronic, manageable condition,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “The first step is learning whether you have HIV, and that’s why I applaud Interior Health for making HIV testing more accessible for British Columbians.”
