April is STI Awareness Month!
Taking care of yourself includes staying informed and getting tested, it’s easier and more important than you might think. Many STIs don’t show symptoms, which means testing is the only way to truly know your status and protect both yourself and your partners. Healthy owls know their status! Follow Owls Care on Instagram @fauowlscare for more information on STIs, their symptoms, and places that you can get tested, like Student Health Services!
Student Health Services is here to support you every step of the way. They offer confidential STI testing in a safe, supportive environment, with staff who are ready to answer your questions and provide guidance without judgment. Whether it’s your first time getting tested or part of your routine care, you’ll be in good hands!
