Get Free, Accessible HIV Testing at MAX Ottawa.

Knowing your status should be simple and stress-free. That’s why MAX, in partnership with the Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC), will be offering a new weekly HIV testing service out of our office (400 Cooper Street, Suite 9004). Our first session is taking place on Monday, November 12.

Our point-of-care testing is completely anonymous (non-nominal), your privacy is our top priority. The service is also available in both English and French.

When you can drop by

We’ll be having our first two sessions on Monday November 18 and Monday November 25 from 5:00PM to 7:00PM.

Starting the first week of December, we’ll be open for testing every Tuesday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Just a heads-up: we’re closed for testing on the last Tuesday of each month.
