Tried it once before, its pretty fast and no frills. Although they put $30, but if you go during the timing where the van is located, they don't normally charged money, cos they are doing more of awareness program to get people to come forward to be tested.

The whole session lasted the most 30 mins, cos the results of the blood test takes around 15 - 20 mins to know. During the time, the staff will just share some knowledge about protection and brief you about the procedures of the test.

So if bros here are keen, just check where the van will be and make your way there lor. At least another source of place to get tested.

Hope it helps

Thanks, interesting info didn't know the van is 'free' testing.

Yah... When I went to try, I also thought must pay, cos according to the website it's $30.

But the staff there said, no need if we are doing blood test, unless you opt for the swab test (longer waiting time for result, If I remember correctly), then need to pay.

Basically the AFA's idea is to get more people to be tested, thus they are even willing to off-set the cost of the blood-test.

Is it the same van located at Clarke Quay? Where are the other locations that have these vans?

Eh... I am not sure if its the same van that you saw at Clarke Quay, cos according to AFA website, their last trip to Clarke Quay was in Feb.

You can check out their next location and timing from the link below. Hope it helps.

The swab test not painful...but a bit uncomfortable lor,esp when the nurse puts it in your dick,abit like ant bite I think haha..just imagine those plastic spoons you see at starbucks (but still much smaller), the nurse uses it to collect some 'sample' from your dick,then perform some test (what test I dunno). Wait about 20min, answer is out.

Important thing is to hold your pee for 4 hours beforehand...that,to me, was the difficult part...haha..imagine I forced myself not to drink (for fear of peeing during the 4 hours) and avoid looking at the toilet bowl (scare mentally I will give in to my pee ) haha

A gay friend of mine got more than condoms when he went for his annual testing at AFA/DSC...... the male volunteers there gave him their contacts and hinted at "more"

They only have one van. This van will move to different locations.
On one of their trips to PT everyone that they approached siam them so they were kind enough to leave some condoms / free coupons at the backlane.
