All Austin Planned Parenthood locations offer the morning after pill, complete STD/STI testing, diagnosis and treatment (for all genders, men welcome). They also do UTI (urinary tract infection) testing and treatment, and no one will be turned away due to a lack of money. Their walk-in services (no appointment) include Emergency Contraception (EC, morning after pill), Pregnancy Testing, and Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing. North and South Austin locations offer rape crisis counseling referrals and states, “If you can’t make it in to a Planned Parenthood health center, you may be able to get emergency contraception at a nearby pharmacy.”
