Sexual health involves physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. Being sexually healthy is more than just being free of disease. It’s about having healthy sexual relationships, being self-aware and having a respectful attitude towards the topic of sexuality.
We aim to offer resources to students regarding healthy sexual activity, reproduction and pregnancy prevention, sexual orientation, contraception and healthy relationships.
Safer sex involves students communicating with their partner and identifying the best barrier method to help prevent direct contact with their partner’s sexual fluids. The correct use of a barrier method can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections, HIV and pregnancy.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Students who believe they have contracted an STI/STD can seek a diagnosis and treatment at Student Health Services.
