What to Expect When You Get Tested
First and foremost, expect a welcoming clinic environment, staffed by medical professionals who are experts in LGBTQIA+ sexual health. Many of our tests, including HIV and some other STIs, require that we draw blood. Be prepared by drinking plenty of water the day before, and consider wearing a short-sleeve shirt to your appointment. Mouth-swab and finger-prick tests are not available at Resource Center.
Where to Get Tested
Resource Center's sexual health services are available at the Nelson-Tebedo Sexual Health Clinic, located on Inwood Rd. between Maple Ave. and Denton Dr. in Dallas. All are welcome to visit our judgement free space. Se habla español.
