Heading for fastest - no time to wait, then read on...

Fastest:  Fast Accessible Simple Testing for HIV

Fastest is a free and confidential 1-hour HIV testing service offered by the Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru, every Tuesday from 6-8pm at Canton House, 435-451 Cowbridge Road East, Cardiff, CF5 1JH.

The testing clinics are run in partnership with staff members from Cardiff Royal Infirmary GUM department so there are trained health professionals present at clinics. They provide counselling both before and after the test results.  There is no need to book an appointment as the service is offered on a 'first come, first served' basis. It is worthwhile arriving early to ensure that you can be seen as the number of tests that we can do per evening is limited.

The Terrence Higgins Trust is an HIV and sexual health charity offering support to people living with HIV and working to prevent the spread of HIV. You may have already seen posters and leaflets around town as the service is currently being publicised. We are willing to talk to groups about Fastest and to send posters and leaflets to those who would like some for distribution to community members. If you need these or further information, please contact:
