The AIDS Healthcare Foundation's new “all-in-one” clinic, offers primary care, STI testing, case management and pharmacy services. Also on site is the Out of the Closet Thrift Store, where 96 cents of every dollar earned will go towards HIV prevention and treatment in the Austin area.

Texas has the second-highest rate of new HIV infections in the United States. Medicines like PrEP can prevent HIV, but without insurance, it's hard to find, and afford.

Some object to paying for health insurance plans that cover preventive services that they say violate their religious beliefs, which could cause millions to lose access to care if the courts agree.
