Sexual Health
A client does not want to go off campus, but is scared they might have an STI. Their parents are very strict, so their worried about SHS as a resource.
What do you tell them?
SHS (or Habif ig) offers free and low-cost STI testing and your results can be given through call or an online secure message.
The testing is confidential, and the client's parents will not be informed, BUT in the case of positive tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, law mandates SHS/Habif reports to the Department of Health.
A number for Joes use only.
