The testing for HIV in Estonia is voluntary, and the tests can only be administered with the informed consent of the patient. It is common for doctors to recommend an HIV test for patients, especially in areas with a higher HIV infection rate, such as Talinn or northeastern Estonia. The only times that HIV testing is mandatory is when people donate blood or organs. You can only receive an HIV test in a healthcare institution from a medical professional (i.e. doctors, nurses, midwives, lab technicians, etc), and non-medical personnel are not allowed to administer HIV tests.<ref name ="hivreport-estonia">[http://www.unaids.org/sites/default/files/country/documents/EST_narrative_report_2014.pdf HIV in Estonia - Situation, prevention, treatment, and care]</ref>
