About Allies in Hope

Provides free HIV/STI testing, treatment, housing support, and prevention education across Greater Houston for over 40 years.

Testing reaches throughout Harris County, with walk-in clinics and mobile units visiting neighborhoods across Houston, including Mid-West and the 77057 area. The organization focuses especially on underserved communities where residents face the most barriers to healthcare access.

Houston has higher HIV and STI rates than the national average, making regular testing crucial for protecting yourself and your community. Early detection saves lives and prevents further spread of infections. Many neighbors avoid testing due to cost, stigma, or transportation challenges — barriers this program specifically removes by bringing testing directly to where people live and work.

Visit their website to find mobile testing schedules in your area, locate walk-in clinic hours, or order a home test kit for delivery. You can also call them directly to ask questions or schedule an appointment at a time that works for you.
