Rapid HIV Testing / Hepatitis C Testing

LESHRC offers on-site as well as community venue Rapid HIV Testing free of charge. Results of HIV screenings are ready within 20 minutes.

In conjunction with New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), LESHRC provides antibody testing to individuals who may have been exposed to Hepatitis C virus.  Hepatitis C infection can go without symptoms for up to 30 years, but a simple blood test can let someone know if they’ve ever been exposed or infected with Hepatitis C virus, with results available in approximately 10 days.

Testing is available on:

 Mon – Fri: 10am - 7:30pm

We provide counseling and link individuals to medical care, if necessary.

If you are interested in HIV / Hepatitis C testing for yourself or having us conduct testing at your site, please contact Ajani Benjamin at (212) 226-6333 ext. 119 or email ajani@leshrc.org
