Free Rapid HIV Testing in Wilton Manors
Know Your Status — Same Day, No Cost
HIV is a manageable condition when caught early — but an estimated one in eight people living with HIV don't know their status. Rapid HIV testing is one of the most effective tools we have for closing that gap. It's fast, free, and available right here in Wilton Manors.
At Midway Specialty Care Center, our free rapid HIV tests use a simple finger-stick blood sample and deliver results in approximately 20 minutes. No paperwork, no appointment, no cost. If your result is negative, we'll discuss your risk and connect you to prevention options like PrEP. If your result is reactive, we'll begin confirmatory testing and connect you directly to our HIV care team — all at the same clinic.
Whether you've never been tested or just want peace of mind, we're here with the same professional, nonjudgmental care we bring to all of our patients.
What Rapid HIV Testing at Midway Includes
A complete testing experience — from the test itself to counseling and connection to care.
The Rapid HIV Test
We use a 4th-generation rapid HIV test that detects both HIV antibodies and p24 antigen from a small finger-stick blood sample. Results are typically available in 20 minutes or less. The test is highly accurate and FDA-approved for use in clinical settings.
No Cost, No Insurance Required
Rapid HIV testing at Midway is completely free. You do not need health insurance, a referral, or a prior appointment to receive a test. As a federally qualified nonprofit clinic, we provide free testing as part of our commitment to HIV prevention and community health.
Pre- & Post-Test Counseling
Before your test, we'll briefly review your risk history and explain what the results mean. After your test, a counselor or clinician will walk you through your result, answer your questions, and discuss next steps — whether that's PrEP for prevention, confirmation testing, or beginning HIV treatment.
Connection to HIV Care or Prevention
One of the most important advantages of testing at a specialty clinic is what happens after. If your result is reactive, our infectious disease physicians can begin confirmatory Western blot testing and initiate your HIV care — often at the same visit. If you're negative, we can prescribe PrEP to keep you that way.
nPEP for Recent Exposure
If you believe you've been exposed to HIV within the last 72 hours, time is critical. nPEP (non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis) is a 28-day course of antiretroviral medications that can prevent HIV infection if started promptly. Call us immediately — we can evaluate you and prescribe nPEP the same day.

Who Should Get Tested
HIV testing is recommended for a broad range of people — not only those with symptoms or known exposure.
Sexually Active Adults
The CDC recommends that all adults between 15 and 65 be tested for HIV at least once as part of routine care, and that those at higher risk be tested at least once a year. If you've never been tested, now is the right time.
LGBTQ+ Community
Gay and bisexual men and transgender individuals remain disproportionately affected by HIV. We provide affirming, stigma-free care and recommend testing every 3 to 6 months for those at higher risk. All patients are welcome here.
Known or Possible Exposure
If you had unprotected sex with a partner whose status is unknown, shared injection equipment, or had a condom break, testing is strongly recommended. If exposure was within the past 72 hours, call us immediately — nPEP can prevent infection if started in time.
Before Starting PrEP
A confirmed HIV-negative test is required before starting PrEP. If you're interested in PrEP, we can complete your rapid HIV test and baseline lab work in the same visit — getting you started on prevention as quickly as possible.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Rapid HIV testing at Midway is quick, private, and straightforward.
Walk In or Call Ahead
No appointment is required for rapid HIV testing. Simply walk in during our office hours at our Wilton Manors clinic at 2608 NE 16th Ave. If you prefer, you can call us at (954) 530-8357 to confirm availability or let us know you're coming.
Brief Intake & Consent
You'll complete a short intake form and provide consent for testing. A clinician will briefly review your risk history to help guide counseling after your results. Everything is confidential — your information is never shared without your permission.
The Test — About 20 Minutes
A small finger-stick blood sample is collected and processed in our clinic. Results are typically available in 20 minutes or less. You'll wait comfortably on-site while we process your sample.
Results & Next Steps
A clinician will deliver your results privately and walk you through what they mean. A negative result is reassuring — we'll discuss whether PrEP is right for you. A reactive result triggers immediate confirmatory testing and a warm handoff to our HIV care team, who can begin treatment planning the same day.
