Test North Texas is a collaborative effort to expand access to HIV and STI testing in our community.  Research has shown that one of the most effective prevention tools we have is to identify those living with HIV and ensure they have access to care.  Doing so not only improves the health outcomes for the individual, but prevents further transmission as well.
