Why Should Austin TX Residents Get Tested?

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention¹, the overall rate of STIs in Travis County has increased by 34% from 2014 to 2018 with significant increases in cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and congenital syphilis. And in terms of HIV diagnoses, the state of Texas ranks third across the United States with more than 4,400 cases reported. Overall, Austin county has the fourth highest number of STD-related infections in the state of Texas according to a recent report by the Texas Department of Public Health². With statistics like these, we cannot stress to Austin residents how important it is to practice safe sex and get the proper tests when necessary.

How Much Will It Cost?
