Health Center Offers STI Testing

The Student Health Center will be providing walk-in STI testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Health Center. Testing is done through a urine sample. The CDC recently reported new cases of sexually transmitted infections reaching record highs in 2016 with 20 million new cases reported annually. Additionally, they report 50 percent are in adolescents and young adults aged 15-24. Students will be charged the significantly reduced rate of $30 on their student account for all three tests and will have access to a HIPAA-compliant, secure website to review their results. Individuals testing positive may seek services for treatment at the Health Center or at a provider’s office of their choice.
