'''Important Note:''' If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment that may prevent HIV infection, and it may be available in your city (see below for details). Take PEP as soon as possible. | |||

If you're not Ecuadorian and you're applying for long-term residency, the government will require that you take an HIV test. If you test positive, it's not clear whether you will/will not be deported. However, if you test positive for HIV/AIDS after you have acquired residency, you will not be deported.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryCode=EC HIV Travel: Ecuador]</ref> | |||
===What to Get & Where to Get It=== | |||
====Testing Facilities==== | |||
To say STD in Spanish, say "enfermedades de transmisión sexual." | |||
* Nueva Clinica Internacional - "On the corner of Mariana de Jesus and 10 de Agosto, has an English-speaking staff and they have their own laboratory where test results are made available in a matter of hours as opposed to days in most other places." | |||
* Fybeca (the branch located on 6 de Diciembre y Irlanda, across from Colegio Benalcazar) - Has a very professional consultoria that can provide the services you desire, or direct you to the appropriate clinic. They're on the second floor, above the pharmacy; very nice facilities, staffed with docs and nurses.<ref>[http://www.expatexchange.com/expat/index.cfm?frmid=658&tpcid=3398398&ms=flat&order=DESC ExpatExchange: STDs test clinic in Quito?]</ref> | |||
