The Department of Veterans Affairs is encouraging all Veterans to be tested for HIV at least once in their lives.    

"VA offers HIV testing as part of its comprehensive, world-class care for the men and women who have served this Nation in uniform," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "Testing, regardless of age or risk factors, is an important step to healthier, longer lives."

Some VA facilities offer HIV testing on a walk-in basis or through routine primary care appointments. Others offer testing as part of special health fairs.
