How to get an HIV test at a government clinic
Choose a clinicPick one from the list above and call to check opening hours.
RegisterBring your MyKad and ask for an HIV screening test (saringan HIV).
See the healthcare teamA doctor or counsellor will talk you through the test and take a blood sample.
Get your resultIf the screening test is reactive, the clinic will arrange a confirmatory test and next steps.
Prefer to test privately at home?
The iCare HIV Self-Test lets you screen yourself in private. A reactive self-test result must be confirmed at a clinic.
Is HIV testing free at government clinics in Malaysia?
Yes, for Malaysian citizens. HIV screening at government health clinics has no separate charge; you pay only the standard RM1 outpatient registration fee. Non-citizens are charged separate fees, so confirm the cost at the registration counter.
What should I bring to the clinic?
Bring your MyKad (or passport if you are not a Malaysian citizen). At registration, tell the staff you would like an HIV screening test (saringan HIV).
Do I need an appointment?
Opening hours and walk-in arrangements differ between clinics and can change on public holidays. Call the clinic before your visit to check.
What happens if my screening result is reactive?
A reactive screening result is not a diagnosis. The clinic will arrange a confirmatory test. If HIV is confirmed, antiretroviral treatment is available at government health facilities and lets people with HIV live long, healthy lives.
I think I was exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours. What should I do?
Go to a clinic or hospital emergency department as soon as possible and ask about post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP must be started within 72 hours of exposure. A test taken straight after exposure cannot rule out HIV; see our guide to the HIV window period.
Is my HIV result kept confidential?
Your medical records are confidential. A confirmed HIV diagnosis is a notifiable disease under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342), so it is reported to public health authorities for surveillance. It is not shared publicly.
