Know Before you Go! Interested in getting tested for STIs at the upcoming Sexual Health & Wellness Fair? Here’s what you need to know before arriving:

• This year, Student Health and Wellness is partnering with the CT Department of Public Health to test 200 students for chlamydia and gonorrhea - for free!
• If you’d like to be tested, arrive early. Fair attendees will be asked if they are interested in getting tested at the main fair check-in and given a number, which will secure their spot in line.
• Tests will be conducted via urine sample, so if you plan on getting tested, be sure to hydrate and do not urinate 1 hour before arriving.
• You will receive instructions after you’re tested about any follow-up, including how to access to results. Any positive tests will be offered FREE treatment at Student Health & Wellness. Eligible partner(s) of students who have positives tests will also be offered FREE treatment without the need to see a medical provider.

If you have any questions about the STI testing portion of the event, please reach out to our Advice Nurse Line at 860-486-4700.

Can’t make the event, but still interested in getting tested for STIs? SHaW offers STI testing throughout the semester at our Hilda May Williams building. Please call 860-486-4700 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

*Please note that in addition to SHaW & DPH testing, Perceptions Programs is generously offering a limited number of spots for students interested in being tested for HIV. Please visit the Perceptions Program table the day of the fair if you’re interested in receiving a rapid HIV test!

Student Health and Wellness partners with numerous UConn & community organizations to make our fair possible. The following organizations have attended and supported the SH&WF throughout the years. We thank them for their dedication and support in promoting sexual health & wellness to the UConn community!
