The differences can be in the price, the type of tests, the time it takes to get the result, the degree of anonymity, the possibility to consult an expert and get the support you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is voluntary, confidential counseling and testing (VCT)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It is a service where you have a confidential conversation with a trained counselor, before and after the test. Whether you will get tested for HIV after counseling is a matter of your personal choice. The service is free for everyone, including foreign nationals. No instructions, personal documents, or your personal data are required (first name, last name, address, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I get voluntary, confidential counseling and testing (VCT)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This service is available in Serbia in health institutions (for all citizens) and community organizations (for people at increased risk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>VCT at public health institutions <\/strong>is provided by 24 counseling centers for HIV, as well as at the Student Polyclinic in Belgrade. In addition to HIV testing, free hepatitis B and C testing is available, and test results are usually ready in a day or two (depending on the city).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/en\/strejt\/\">Click here for a list of HIV counseling centers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>VCT outside health institutions<\/strong> is provided by community organizations such as Potent, in cooperation with health institutions, and is intended for persons at increased risk of HIV infection, such as men who have sex with men, or sex workers. In Potent, in addition to HIV testing, free hepatitis C and syphilis testing is available, and the test results are ready in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/en\/gej\/\">Click here to schedule a test at Potent\u2019s checkpoint centers in Belgrade, Ni\u0161 and Kragujevac<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages and disadvantages of testing in private laboratories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">For testing in a private laboratory, it is necessary to leave personal data. The HIV test is not expensive, and the results arrive in two days via e-mail or can be collected in person. The laboratories do not offer counseling before and after the test (about the window period, the need for additional testing for some other sexually transmitted infections, vaccination and other types of protection, or about treatment in case of a positive test result).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you are getting tested in a private laboratory, do not hesitate to contact us for support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HIV testing at the infectious disease clinic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Infectious diseases clinics in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Ni\u0161 and Kragujevac primarily treat people living with HIV. Testing can be done with a doctor\u2019s prescription. Non-prescription testing is done in emergencies, such as a needle stick or high-risk sexual intercourse, to introduce post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), in the first 48 to 72 hours, in order to reduce the risk of HIV infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Published with support of<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-591\" height=\"85\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg 300w, https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>priredio: Bratislav Proki\u0107, novembar 2022.recenzija: Prof. dr Biljana Koci\u0107, epidemiolog,Institut<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1440","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gde mo\u017ee\u0161 da se testira\u0161 na HIV - prednosti i nedostaci - POTENT<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/en\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gde mo\u017ee\u0161 da se testira\u0161 na HIV - prednosti i nedostaci - POTENT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"priredio: Bratislav Proki\u0107, novembar 2022.recenzija: Prof. dr Biljana Koci\u0107, epidemiolog,Institut\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/en\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"POTENT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/potent.udruzenje\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-02-01T00:25:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"150\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/\",\"name\":\"Gde mo\u017ee\u0161 da se testira\u0161 na HIV - prednosti i nedostaci - POTENT\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-11-07T01:50:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-02-01T00:25:12+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MedicoPharmacia-Logo-JJ.jpg\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/gde-mozes-da-se-testiras-na-hiv-prednosti-i-nedostaci\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/potent.org.rs\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Gde mo\u017ee\u0161 da se testira\u0161 na HIV &#8211;
