Get Yourself Tested Fund

With the Get Yourself Tested Fund, UT students can receive 100% free STI testing from UHS.

Any enrolled UT student is eligible to apply for the GYT Fund, regardless of insurance status. The fund covers all STI testing done at UHS, including any confirmatory testing and the $10 patient responsibility for the UHS office visit.

Students may only use the GYT Fund once per semester, and will still be charged the standard $25 missed appointment fee if they schedule an appointment but do not show up. Students must make an appointment at the UHS General Medicine Clinic within two weeks of receiving their acceptance.

Students may only use the GYT Fund for appointments made solely for asymptomatic STI testing in the General Medicine Clinic. The fund does not cover STI testing undertaken during annual sexual health exams or other UHS appointments.

The GYT Fund is only available for asymptomatic students. If you are experiencing symptoms that you think are caused by an STI, you may still get tested and receive treatment at UHS using a standard UHS payment option. If you cannot afford to be tested at UHS, consider visiting one of the free and low-cost STI testing centers in Austin.

Students are responsible for any treatment costs, including prescriptions. The GYT Fund only funds testing.

Testing at UHS is completely confidential and your results will never be attached to your academic record.
