We offer free and confidential HIV and Hep C rapid screenings that take between 25-30 minutes.
These screenings can be scheduled in the comfort of your home, in our company van or in our office. If you have a preference between having a male or female counselor, we can arrange it for you. Our HIV screening looks for Antibodies and Antigens as soon as 15 days after exposure.
Our Hep C screening can give us results 30 days after you have been exposed to the virus. If either one of these screenings are reactive we will provide case management services. Both screenings just require one finger stick.

Narcan Training, Access & Education
Our staff provide free Narcan trainings to the surrounding communities in an effort to reduce the impact of the opioid epidemic and empower individuals to become part of the solution. Presentations typically last between 40-60 minutes and are interactive. We have trained library staff, IOP groups, Syringe Exchange clients and their families, VFWs, and more. If you would like to host or schedule a training please call (860) 208-0888.
If you are looking to get a Narcan kit and are uninsured we have a very limited supply available. However, if you have health insurance you can call your local pharmacy and get a kit from them with or without a doctor’s prescription. We recommend calling ahead to be sure they have a kit in stock and there is a prescribing pharmacist on duty before walking in. You do not have to be the person using opioids to get Narcan.
