Get Yourself Tested Fund

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

The fund covers all STI testing done at UHS, including any confirmatory testing and the $10 patient responsibility for the UHS office visit. Students are responsible for any treatment costs, including prescriptions.

GYT Fund Eligibility and Use

• Any enrolled UT student is eligible to apply for the GYT Fund, regardless of insurance status.
• 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 STI Screening Clinic within two weeks of receiving their acceptance. If the approval window expires and students would still like to use the GYT Fund, they may reapply.
• Students may only use the GYT Fund for appointments made solely for asymptomatic STI testing in the STI Screening 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.

Confidentiality

Both the application process and use of the GYT Fund is confidential. Your use of the GYT Fund will not be attached to your medical record.

Testing at UHS is completely confidential and your results will never be attached to your academic record. If you are 18 years or older, UHS is also prohibited by federal law from sharing your medical records with anyone, even if they pay for your tuition or other expenses.
