WHY GET TESTED?
Regular testing is important to take care of your sexual wellbeing. Some STIs, if left untreated, may result in health complications, so it's important to get tested regularly. We recommend people who have sex to get tested every 3-6 months, before having sex with a new partner, or after unprotected sex. Regular testing is a great way to care for the physical health of your body and that of your sexual partner(s).

HIV TESTING
What is HIV?
HIV is a virus that can lead to AIDS. HIV comprises your immune system, which can make you sick.
How do you get HIV?
HIV is transmitted through semen (cum), vaginal secretions/fluids, anal secretions, blood, and breastmilk. Usually, HIV is transmitted through anal or vaginal sex. Using condoms and dental dams every time you have sex can protect you and your partner(s) from contracting HIV.
When can I get tested?
Testing through the Center for Campus Wellness is on hold for the summer.

GONORRHEA & CHLAMYDIA TESTING
What is Gonorrhea & Chlamydia?
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are 2 of the most common STIs on a college campus. They are completely treatable bacterial infections that often have no symptoms. We recommend for anyone having sex to get tested every 3 to 6 months.
How do you get Gonorrhea or Chlamydia?
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are spread through sexual contact with someone who has the infection. These infections can spread even if no one cums. Usually, gonorrhea and chlamydia are spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. This is why it is important to use condoms and dental dams every time you have sex.
If someone contracts Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, treatment is very easy with a simple round of antibiotics.
