What To Expect

This service is entirely run by dedicated volunteers who identifies as gay or bi men. We have received extensive training provided by AfA, and follow a strict protocol that places your comfort, safety and anonymity as the priority.

  • Registration

    The registration process is simple, and straightforward. When you arrive at the clinic, simply fill up the online form. No personal details are required. You will then receive a unique client ID (e.g. A123456) which will only be used for that day. Take a screenshot of your client ID, take a seat, and your number will be called shortly.

    This serial number is the only way you will be identified throughout the whole process.

    Once your number is called, proceed to the reception counter, select the type of test you need and pay accordingly.

    If you are unsure, our volunteers will be happy to explain and guide you along.

    The clinic accepts cash and PayNow (no credit cards).

    At your preference, your test results can be sent to you as a mobile notification. While registering, simply input either a mobile phone number and/or an email address and your results will be sent there once it is ready.

    Note: Syphilis tests are no longer available at ATS

  • Pre-Test Discussion

    Before the test, our peer counsellor will guide you through a pre-test discussion about the following:

    • Your behaviour since your last test to help us accurately access your risk level and provide you with information that is important to you
    • Your understanding of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, how they are transmitted and how to protect yourself
    • The window period of the test you are taking, and what it means
    • What the test means and the implications of a positive or negative result
    • How Pink Carpet can support you after the test

    Our counsellors and volunteers are sex positive, open minded, and non-judgemental. We value your honesty, and respect your privacy.

  • Test

    At a separate room, trained volunteers will administer a quick and painless prick to collect a sample. After which, wait outside the room for the post-test counselling and your result(s).

    All the equipments are sterile, and is disposed off after each test.

    If you have chosen mobile notification for your results it will be sent to you via SMS and/or email, there is no need to wait for your results within the clinic and you can leave after your test.

  • Post-Test Counselling

    After the results are ready, your counsellor will release the results back in the room. They will also help you determine if today’s result is conclusive, and if a confirmatory another test is required.

    This is your chance to clarify any questions you have regarding the result(s) and your sexual health. Your counsellor may refer you to other community based organization or connect you other health services for treatment and follow up.

    This is optional if you chose mobile notifications for your results.
