The MTS van is the first in Singapore and is an extension and expansion of the Anonymous Testing and Counselling Service (ATS) based in the DSC Clinic in Kelantan Lane. The ATS, which operates three times a week, is the busiest of the seven anonymous HIV test sites in Singapore approved by MOH.

This community project is sponsored by the MAC AIDS Fund and supported by Ministry of Health, Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports, and the Department of STI Control.

MTS Van Set-up

The interior of a hybrid van, Toyota High Roof Hiace, has been converted into a counselling and testing room with complete clinical facilities to conduct rapid HIV and syphilis tests. The van will be manned by 2 trained staff who will facilitate counselling and provide testing services. Volunteers will be on site to answer public queries and to introduce the service to interested persons. Results of the rapid HIV and syphilis tests will be ready within 20/60 minutes. Tests will be performed in strictest confidence and will be anonymous.

Want to find out more about MTS?

The MTS service can be offered at a variety of locations. Through active outreach, AfA will work with agencies, community based groups and companies to bring the MTS to as many venues as possible. Ownership and collaboration with stakeholders are necessary to make HIV testing as non-threatening as possible. The timing of the service will be catered to needs of various groups. The operating hours will be flexible. The MTS van will also be parked at targeted locations in order to complement with AfA
