Guilford County Offers No Cost HIV and STI Testing Events
Guilford County Division of Public Health and Triad Health Project will host a series of no cost, confidential HIV and STI testing clinics and awareness events beginning Monday, December 1, 2025, across Greensboro and High Point. The events mark World AIDS Day and aim to expand access to testing for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B and C, with no identification required.
Guilford County public health officials and community partners will mark World AIDS Day with a week of free testing and awareness events starting Monday, December 1, 2025. The schedule includes walk up testing at NC A&T Student Center in Greensboro from 4 to 7 p.m., a Triad Health Project memorial and documentary screening at Carolina Crown beginning at 6 p.m. with a meet up at Governmental Plaza, mobile unit testing at 1100 E. Wendover Avenue in Greensboro on Tuesday from 3 to 6 p.m., and a mobile site in High Point at 501 E. Green Drive on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Services offered at these clinics include confidential, no cost testing for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B and C. Individuals are not required to provide identification to receive testing. The county released contact information and additional resources to help residents find follow up care and support services.
The outreach brings testing directly to community spaces that serve diverse populations including students, downtown residents, and people in High Point who may face transportation or financial barriers to health care. By removing cost and identification requirements, the events aim to reduce common barriers that keep people from getting tested and linked to treatment. Early diagnosis and timely care help improve individual health outcomes and reduce the risk of onward transmission, which has implications for broader public health and health equity in Guilford County.
Triad Health Project and the Division of Public Health are using this week of events to combine memorial activities with practical services, including a screening of the documentary "Surviving Voices" as part of the observance. Bringing services into community settings models an approach public health experts advocate for when trying to reach under served and vulnerable populations. Residents seeking testing or more information can consult the county press release for specific contact details and resources provided by Guilford County.
