Does anybody know of a pharmacy that I can go to in Centurion to do my yearly blood test? Stuff like cholesterol, sugar, HIV, ext. I had a friend in PTA that did the test for free, but he has moved and now I’m searching for a decent place to do the test. Any help will be appreciated.

What about in Tygervalley? I think I'm ready to do my HIV Test (did one way back in 2006).

Damn, just called Intercare = R170 but needs Dr Referral. M-KEM (24hrs) is also R170!! Why so expensive anyway????
Let me try Diskem and Clicks pharmacy. Is there Diskem at Tygervalley???

Would think that when u go to donate blood, that u could get a few tests done for free.
Enough money gets made off your blood.
I know the HIV one is free.

I decided to go do the FREE ONE! I went to this NGO, NEW START this morning. They administer two tests at once. A Rapide Test and a Confirmatory Test! Sweet!!!

Just wait till the doc tells you that you need to do blood test every month for half a year...I hardly notice anymore.
I did all the blood test @ Lacent Labs. Most hospitals have one, but I think one needs a doc script.
Wussy.

Thats why I don't do those free testing things. I'd rather go to a private hospital and pay some $$$.
My kids got sent in last week for an allergy test and the nurses had one heck of a time finding the vein in the baby's arm
Poor kids.
I'm surprised that you dont need a Dr's note for the test . . . though to be honest I'm not sure why you would now that I think of it.
