TREAT HIV LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
With treatment, your HIV can be undetectable (it won’t show up on tests because the viral load will be too small) and untransmittable (you won’t pass the virus to others).
Austin Public Health is here to help you at every step of your journey with low- or no-cost testing, treatment, and more.
