The Rainbow Center and is a UConn/Storrs campus spot to get a FREE and private Rapid HIV test and a Rapid Hepatitis C test which allows for results to be known within the half-hour!  The tests are free of charge, thanks to the generous support of the Risk Reduction Outreach program of Perception Programs, Inc., of Willimantic.  The tested sample comes from a simple finger prick.

HIV/HEP C Testing Dates Fall 2024

• Wed, September 11th: 10a – 1p
• Fri, September 27th: 4:30p – 8p

Unfortunately we have had to pause testing for the current semester with our partner, Perception Programs. We are working to fill additional dates with a new partner this semester to continue providing this service.

This test is free of charge and open to all, however, there are approximately 10 spots available per day of testing, allowing for about 20 minutes for each test! No appointments will be taken due to the need for privacy. Arrive early because testing is first come, first served. Numbers will be given out to individuals and people need to wait in the office. If a person leaves the office and their number is called, we can substitute another person at our discretion.

The Rainbow Center is located in Room 403 on the fourth floor of the Student Union.

One may always obtain free, rapid, and private HIV tests and Hepatitis C (HCV) tests through the Risk Reduction Outreach Program, a component of Perception Programs, Inc.,  which provides services to Windham and Tolland Counties.  Its office is located at 90 South Park Street (use Young Street entrance) in Willimantic.  The phone number is 860-450-7128.
