HIV and AIDS Services

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Carroll County Health Department provides free, confidential or anonymous​ HIV and/or Hepatitis C testing, counseling, and education for those at risk for HIV and/or Hepatitis C infection. We also provide free condoms, health education, and ​overdose prevention​. ​​

If you receive a positive result from the rapid HIV self-test, you will need to go to your healthcare provider or the Carroll County Health Department's Reproductive Health Program for a follow-up confirmatory test.​
