Rapid Testing
Beginning July 2009, DACCO will be expanding its array of HIV-services by offering HIV Rapid Testing to all, confidentially and free of charge, in cooperation with the Florida Department of Health. Manager Anil Pandya states "Although DACCO has offered blood and oral HIV antibody testing for quite some time, the addition of Rapid testing offers individuals a third option, and addresses the often stressful time lapse between the test and the result."
For more information regarding HIV testing please call (813) 384-4028.
