all.

TPQC Offers Confidential HIV Testing
All HIV testing presented by The Project of Quad Cities is free and anonymous.
Please call (309) 762-5433 or contact TPQC to set up your HIV Testing appointment. HIV Testing is also available on a walk-in basis if a counselor is available.
The Ora Sure or Ora Quik Test is used at our testing site. No blood will be drawn because this test involves collection of an oral specimen.
Funding for this program is provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
