Is it possible to get these tests over the counter at a pharmacy in the US ?
Same question in canada ?
If not, is there a way to get them anonymously ?

I believe you can get them at drugstores in the US, but I could be wrong. If you search for "HIV home test," you should get a bunch of sites that come out where you can easily order one from the internet. However, you have to be careful with those tests. Last I heard, only one at home test was actually FDA approved, all the rest were not. So if you can get to a clinic, that might be an even better way to go.

That's the thing I wanted to be sure about ...
Does anyone know for sure in the US ?

I've seen those internet tests, but there are so many scams/fake/counterfeit products on those sites I would not trust any of them, no matter what the result is. This is serious matter, I don't want to make important decisions based on the result of a fake product.
