The screening calendar contains dates and locations for the mobile clinic. Please review the following guidelines for the mobile clinic and the scheduled hours of operation listed on the calendar. Three of our Health Centers offer HIV and STD weekday testing services.
Guidelines for Scheduling, Availability, and Alternate Screening Sites
Screening priorities for the mobile clinic are based on actual STD cases, outreach screenings and other Houston Health Department initiatives. On occasion, based on department’s needs and unforeseen screening priorities, the schedules for the mobile clinic may be revised, and previously scheduled events may be cancelled.
In some instances, the mobile clinic may be required to relocate from the site originally scheduled on the calendar to an alternative screening site. If this occurs, the mobile clinic coordinator will notify program supervisors, staff from other participating organizations and the department’s website of the change of testing venue.
