Excellent information. Which reminds me that yesterday, while talking to our board of Health office (verifying immunizations), I happened to think about this issue and asked What, if anything Volusia County (Florida) has for testing.
She said they had a grant so that anyone can come in and get tested at to cost to them!
I also asked about HIV. They test for that also, but there is a fee of approximately $18. I thought that also interesting, too, but of course, my main focus is the Hep C testing at no cost. It is confidential and no hassle, except filling out their information, then you are assigned a number. It's one time becoming a number isn't a bad thing. : -)
I encourage anyone in Florida to check with their county Health Dept (which is really a State Agency, but we won't go there) if they don't have insurance abd/or a doctor.
Maybe there are other places around the country?
