* VYC clinic (clinic of the Vientiane Youth Center for Health and Development): They provide STI/HIV testing and counseling by experienced local doctors, and with medicines it only costs between 40,000-50,000 kip. It is linked to a hotline, radio programme and outreach to young people in some factories in Vientiane Capital and Province, and young people living in dormitories and studying at the National University. The clinic is their core service for nearly 10 years now, and VYC is a project linked to the Vientiane Capital Lao Women's Union but the clinic doesn't operate like a government facility at all. | * VYC clinic (clinic of the Vientiane Youth Center for Health and Development): They provide STI/HIV testing and counseling by experienced local doctors, and with medicines it only costs between 40,000-50,000 kip.

* French Medical Center (also known as the "French Clinic"): This is one of the better places to get an STI test in Laos. They send the samples to labs in Thailand to be tested, and overall, the clinic's STI testing is considered to be on par with Western standards. However, the services will be more expensive and may take more time. Address: Bvd. Kouvieng Rue Simeuang, Vientiane, Laos.

* Mohosot Hospital: This hospital can give you a quicker and faster HIV test (and some other tests) than some other health care providers in Vientiane. While the hospital is not recommended by some expats for more complicated procedures, it's fine for basic tests. Furthermore, it was the first hospital in the country that was developed to focus on infectious diseases. Address: Quai Fa Ngum, Vientiane, Laos.
