Please bring your photo ID, Medicaid card, if you have one, and some form of payment. Also make sure you do not go to the bathroom one hour before your appointment so we can get accurate test results. Please call 816-595-4261 for more information.

Not necessarily. HIV, along with other STDs, often don't have symptoms at all. That is why it's important to get regular testing. Please call 816-595-4261 for more information.
