Getting Tested

Are results anonymous?

No, in VA your results are entered in your medical record.

Anonymous testing means you are referred to by an identification number so that you do not have to give your name. This is a good option if you are concerned about others finding out about your decision to get tested. Only you can match your number with your test result. If you want more information about where you can be tested anonymously, you can call 1-800-CDC-INFO.
