Editor,
In Guangzhou, can a woman be tested for HIV? If so how much time does the procedure and report will take? What are the charges in yuan (Chinese currency)?
Best Regards

Dear M.Amin
There are three state-designated HIV testing centers in Guangzhou: Guangdong Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Guangdong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, and Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Address & Telephone
Guangdong Center for Disease Control and Prevention
176 Xingang Xilu, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province
020-8445 7336
Guangdong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau
33 Shamian Beijie, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

All the three state-designated HIV testing centers offer free HIV tests. And the results will be available the same day. A positive result will require further testing for confirmation. The centers also promise that the results will never be leaked and confidentiality will be maintained.
