Summary

This study looks at whether a rapid fingerstick test for HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis works better than traditional blood draws in a mobile clinic serving homeless and high-risk people in rural West Virginia. About 200 patients will choose between the quick test, a standard blood draw, or no test. Researchers will measure how many people get tested and how satisfied they are, aiming to reduce barriers to screening and connect more people to care.
