The NZ AIDS Foundation's Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton HIV testing centres have all now re-opened after their summer holiday break.

The NZAF's rapid HIV test which gives a result back in only twenty minutes is available free in each of the four clinics.

"Being the highest risk group for infection, we are especially keen to see gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men using this service," says Wellington's Awhina Centre Manager Camille Smith.

"However, anyone who has been having anal or vaginal sex without condoms should consider getting a test. If you are HIV positive, it's better to know so you can start exploring treatment options as early as possible, if necessary."
