STI’s among college students continue to increase
STI’s have been increasing steadily in the college student population the past several years, especially as more people rely on oral and LTR contraception, leading to lower utilization rates of physical contraception and protection like dental dams and condoms. Remember that using multiple types and forms of protection are advised to keep all parties healthy and protected from unplanned pregnancy and STI’s.
Most people who have a STI do not know it because most people are asymptomatic and do not get tested regularly. STI testing can be scheduled at Husky Health Center or a medical office of your choice, or is always available low-cost at Planned Parenthood.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), 70% of people who contract an
STI report being asymptomatic [2]. Studies have also established
that women have a higher biological risk for contracting STIs
than men [3]. Although treatment is available for all STIs, not all
are curable. Curable STIs with drug treatment include syphilis,
gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. Incurable STIs by drug
treatment include hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus, HIV (human
immunodeficiency virus), and human papillomavirus (HPV).Read more here.
