Shinjuku Clinic

Google maps will lead you to the location. However the signs outside are not in English. I have added some picture from Google to show to exact location and entryway. Once you enter into the entryway, you will see an elevator in the back on the right. Go to 7F and you will see the clinic as the doors open.
Straight ahead you will notice a reception desk. They ask you for some data:
1) Your name (no validation, so you can make one up if you want to be anonymous)
2) What type of tests you want performed.
3) Your birthday (again, no validation).
4) A password for your online results recovery.
5) If you like to speak with a staff doctor, no charge.
6) Phone number and email (again, no validation. Not sure why they ask because they were not used)
7) If you have an IC card, you can scan it and use it on your next visit. On the end of the desk there is a self-help kiosk. Noticed one woman use it while I was there. It started with a swipe of your IC card and some screen prompts. Although I didn't use yet so i'm not sure exactly how it works. Although it looked quick.
All of this was done in English. While the receptionist didn't speak much, it was enough to complete the task. You walk away from the front desk with a business card and a slip of paper with a number on it. On the card is your name, password you selected, and date of test. All of which you will need to recover the results online. the results could also be recovered in-person if you go back. The card has everything you need to get your results and also has a date when they would be ready. The test I had done were ready on 2 day different days.
Once you have your info card and a number you wait in the reception area. There appeared to be 2 rooms where they were drawing blood. My wait was about 2 minutes. They called my number in Japanese and I didn't understand them so they waved me inside.
I sat down and the lady reviewed my name, the tests being performed, and explained when the results would be available. Blood was drawn, a small band-aid was applied, a pressure band over the band-aid to ensure the blood stopped (never saw one of these before). It was basically like putting pressure on a wound to stop the bleeding. Once she was done with her end of the work, she handed me a cup for urine, you walk back though the waiting area and into the toilet. Once you are done you pass the cup though a small window in the toilet area.
Back into the reception area to pay, return the arm band, grab a receipt, and you're done!
My results were posted in 2 days and showed up in the morning ~10am for all tests. Even though they said the HIV would take an extra day.
To recover the results, you enter your name, password, and date of service. All printed on the card they gave you. Your name need to be entered in full-width romaji, if i'm not mistaken. All caps. I'm sure there is a better way to describe this. The web results are in Japanese, although Google translate works perfectly here.
The online results screen has a spot for them to add comments and recommendations. I'm not sure how it works if you need treatment. I think you can go back to the same office for treatment, although I'm not sure. If I can keep my guy comfortable in rain gear, hopefully I will never find out how that works.
Also, the online recovery site appears to maintain a history of your test results which is nice.
All the prices are on the website. Google translate does a decent job with the translation. I opted for the sets, although they have ah la carte pricing too.
Stay safe and know your status!
