CiRCLE-SAPPORO only does HIV testing. We do not offer any tests for other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis and gonorrhea.
CiRCLE-SAPPORO is open between 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays. A test normally takes about 10 minutes, but you may have to wait a little, if there are many other appointments at the same time.
You will receive the result a week after the test. Please visit CiRCLE-SAPPORO again to obtain the result. We can only tell you the result in person, not via phone, email or to any other persons. We do not issue any written confirmations or certificates.
To obtain an accurate result, you must wait at least two months after the act that you think may have caused HIV infection, before getting tested.
English-Japanese interpreting service is available on request. Please note that the service may be provided online.
