Email 485: Confused New PLHIV


Hi,

I live in the Philippines and I was referred to RITM Alabang for CD4 examination and other test. I would  
just like to know:

1. When are they open? (day and time they can accommodate me)
2. How long does the test(s) take?
3. Is the CD4 test for free? If not, how much does it cost?
4. Are the other test for free? if not, how much does it cost per test?

Hope you can help me as I'm a bit confused right now.

Thanks!
M
