I wouldn't trust just about any ordinary or even famous Chinese hospital for STD test after all I've heard, read and seen, because of the high percentage of false positive results (and still relatively high percentage of false negative) and also because of hygiene concerns. Make sure they were the appropriate! gloves and all parts of the syringe are new and packaged, not recycled!
Kunming should have one hospital specially dedicated to these tests - with the highest hygiene standards and experts (maybe in combination with a department, in Chengdu it's covered as a dermatological clinic). This hospital is should be the one to double check (false) positive results of other hospitals. As I don't live in Kunming I can't tell you which one it is, but you could ask in a hospitable to tell you the address to verify a positive test.
Depending on the disease it shouldn't be more then a couple of dozens kuai. Before you take the test and after a doctor will consult you and ask you questions (why, how, blabla). Make sure to bring a Chinese speaking friend, if you yourself don't speak the language, don't count on doctors to make an effort to address you in English.
Instead of asking for an HIV test maybe you could ask for another less serious, treatable disease to avoid harassment and embarassment to locate the right clinic (only go the specialized one). Test results should be there instantly or within 24hours depending on the kind of test and disease and lunch breaks:)
If you want to avoid going to state agencies to check order home tests online. I don't have a link at hand, but Mirates Rapid Home tests for either HIV or Hepatitis B or combination used to be available in Hongkong if I remember correctly. Now there are other brands on the market that you could order online. The home tests are more expensive (up to 20 $), but you get a result within 5 min with a 99,9% accuracy (a lot better than a normal or even very good hospital in China).
All the best and maybe you can report back about your experience, as it is a sensitive topic to deal with, but first hand-info might be very much appreciated by others in similar situations.

Posted byThis German mother-exorcist is extremely successful in invading the underground live bars all over China. His events are regularly sold out way ahead. And a 100 or 200 RMB entrance fee isn't cheap. Obviously he does something right, and hits the main nerve of young Chinese teenagers with lyrics and music that can't be describe other than extremely cheesy. In fact so cheesy that one could even suspect a very well-hidden cynic behind his forced emo-mask (American psycho anyone?).
Hey Max do us a favor and skip the underground places on the mainland, get a deal with China mobile and play in the big culture palaces, that's the appropriate location. But more likely we will see more of his offspring.
