You call the clinic, we set up a phone consult and figure out where to order the test drawn. Then you go there, have blood drawn, it is sent to UW and they send me the results and I contact you with the results. The total cost of the consult, western blot and shipping is $250. You pay that at the time of the consult.
Yes, it is possible that you have the virus and you never knew.
If you got infected 6 weeks ago, you may not have a positive western blot yet. Have you possibly talked to the other partner and encouraged them to be tested? I would advise waiting 16 weeks from the last time you had sex with someone whose status is unknown to do the western blot.
