HELL'S KITCHEN — Free HIV testing will soon be available seven days a week at the Metropolitan Community Church of New York.
The charities wing of MCCNY, which serves a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clientele at its 446 West 36th St. facility, will kick off the new initiative on April 1, according to an MCCNY release.
The test, which is available through a blood test or oral swab, gives results in 20 minutes. People who test positive can either request a second test or be directed to follow-up care via the William F. Ryan Community Health Network.
Tests will be conducted between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays and 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sundays. No ID or appointments are required.
Earlier this winter, MCCNY debuted a home care program for LGBT seniors.
