Gay City Wellness
Gay City offers HIV and STI testing six days per week at two different locations. Testing is donations based. We offer Rapid HIV Testing (finger poke) for all those tested. We also offer HIV antibody testing, and screening for syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and Hep C for those that are eligible. For more details, please talk to one of our testers.
HIV/STI Testing
If you are concerned that you have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours please go to Harborview Medical ER.
To get the most accurate HIV results it’s also helpful if you have 21 days between potential exposure and the day of your test.
We cannot diagnose or treat any symptoms that you currently have.
Schedule a Testing Appointment
This is generally a 30-minute appointment for routine testing that can include HIV, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea.
This appointment is for two (or three) people who are having sex with each other and want to receive your rapid HIV test results together.

Curious about PrEP?
PrEP is a medication that can be taken daily to prevent HIV. Gay City’s PrEP clinic provides PrEP for high-risk folks who may otherwise lack access to it. Our knowledgeable, friendly, and bilingual (Spanish/English) staff serve as a first point of contact for those seeking PrEP in Seattle.
