A friend who was in the area (who’d asked me if I knew anywhere to get an anonymous test) went to this place tonight around 8:30. It was closed. There was some Chinese writing on some paper on the door.
He gave the number a call and it was an automated message in Chinese.
Is this place still operating?
I don’t know on that place, but Fyi

On the website, the self testing kits are sold out.
Are there any places where they can be purchased in person?
wait until you see these at 7-Eleven, Family Mart, etc., then you’ll know Taiwan’s hit the big time in terms of openness

To answer my own question, they seem to be available here:

I wonder how accurate the blood and saliva testing kits are? Anyone know?
according to CNA, cdc says 99% for both.
疾管署醫師黃士澤指出，愛滋檢驗試劑共有唾液、血液兩種，準確率均高達99%
I sent this to my friend who translated it.
He went to the NTU place as google maps shows and said it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Saying it is in teaching building 4 next to the women’s toilet was not helpful. No-one there had any idea what building 4 was. He gave up after 15 mins.
As I was nearby, I went to the one near Guting.
I went to the 4th floor. Nothing. There were some companies and a laser eye place.
3 out of 5 failures… 2 left.

Isn’t it easier to take the anonymous test at NTU hospital, though? It is within 1 he, and may be for free or a few hundreds NTD at most.

I once went with a female friend to NTU as she wanted to do an anonymous HIV test.
She did not find the experience a good one. She was asked about her sexual history more than a few times and only told by phone what the result was.
Whether that has changed since then I don’t know.
Call this number for LOFAA’s anonymous test service: 02-2250-5110

As I was nearby I actually went to NTU myself and found it. It is building T4. And you need four 50NT pieces to purchase it.
It is the oral test kit.
Cheers.
What’s wrong with either of these actions?
This was the “deportation” era.
She was not comfortable talking about it and told the person. The person still asked more than twice. (Which reminded me of one time when I went to the STD hospital in Ximending for something the doctor seemed to want to know if I had had sex with males. It felt strange as he’d asked a few times.)
The phone number option - does not really make it anonymous as the authorities would have your number. Had they reported it to the police could have tracked her down. She never trusted (and many foreigners didn’t and still don’t trust) the authorities.
I think giving a result in person would be better. When I have had tests in Bangkok, they did that but you waited around 40 mins. It gives you the option of talking about what happens next should the result be positive.
But the test in NTU was a 3 day wait.
Oh, I see. Back in the late 80s I panicked that I’d picked up an STI. I was only late teens so getting unnecessarily worked-up about minimal risk.
The STI clinic tested me for everything, quite rightly, and then called me in to tell me I was clear. I was then asked do you ever use the services of prostitutes, have you ever had sex with a man, how many sexual partners have you had etc.
I’d have preferred a phone call.
now, the 12 hospitals do that way, so one stop rapid test.
