When temperatures rise, your health is on the line.

Remember the basics:
Stay Hydrated - Drink water before you feel thirsty.
Rest Often - Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
Protect Yourself - Wear light clothing, sunscreen, and a hat.

Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly. Heat illness can escalate quickly.

Here's something most people don't know: HPV comes in dozens of forms, and many people carry it without ever knowing. The good news is there's actually a vaccine that can protect against several of its most harmful strains. Talk to your doctor about it. https://www.abilenetx.gov/387/Mercy-Health-Care-Center

Let's normalize this: STI testing is a normal, responsible part of taking care of your health. It's not shameful. It's not scary. It's smart.

Many STIs have no symptoms at all, meaning you can't know your status without getting tested. Early detection protects you, your partners, and your community. That's not just personal health. That's public health.

No judgment. No lecture. Just care.
Abilene, your health department is here for you, confidentially and compassionately.

Getting tested is:
Confidential
Often low cost
One of the most responsible things you can do

Contact Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District for testing information.
