COVID-19 Testing
Whitman-Walker offers COVID-19 testing clinics to test and treat folks who are affected by COVID-19 at 1525 14th Street, NW and at Max Robinson Center at 2301 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE. If you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19 or have been around someone showing symptoms or who has tested positive for COVID-19, it is extremely important that you get tested for COVID-19.
Our COVID-19 testing includes collecting samples through nasal swabs and saline. See an example image of our self-swab instructions below.
This test is not an antibody test and only looks for whether you are currently infected with COVID-19. For antibody testing to find out if you were ever exposed to COVID-19, please call DC Health at 1.855.363.0333. Find a testing location in DC at needatestgetatest.com.

- Are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19
- Are not showing symptoms, but have been in mass gatherings, protests or spaces where you cannot practice social distancing
- You have been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19
