Tarrant County Public Health Department

About this agency

An important role of Adult Health Services is the control and prevention of HIV through comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of more common STDs. Preventing reinfection and disease complications are also important goals. When someone develops an STD infection, they are also at a high risk of acquiring HIV. Conversely, when an HIV-infected person is also infected with another STD, they are much more likely to transmit HIV than someone who is only HIV-infected. STD treatment reduces the ability of an HIV-positive individual to transmit HIV. By targeting the identification and treatment of STDs, Adult Health Services works to reduce the transmission of HIV in Tarrant County.
