HIV Testing

Starting in January 2012, we will be partnering with AIDS Services of Austin to provide HIV testing and counseling services at our facilities on select days and times. The new services are free and open to the community. Testing is done orally (no blood draw), and results are ready in 20 minutes. Individuals may choose to test confidentially or anonymously. Call 458-TEST (8378) to schedule an appointment. Spanish-speaking counselors are available by request.
