SCREENING : THE INFORMATION POINT WITH JUSTINE, STUDENT HEALTH RELAY
As a young adult, our lives are quickly overloaded. We can quickly get lost when it comes to STIs and even have a hard time scheduling an appointment to get tested. That's why the Student Health Service organizes screenings directly on our campuses!
What is an STI (sexually transmitted infection)?
These are infections that are mainly transmitted during sexual intercourse. There are many viruses or bacteria that can be transmitted in this way.
Why get tested?
To protect yourself, because some STIs can be very dangerous even though they are sometimes very easy to treat.
To protect others, because when it comes to sex, it's more fun to have fun if you take care of yourself and the people you're having fun with! In addition, some STIs are asymptomatic, meaning that you can be a carrier without knowing it.
Why do it on your campus?
Because it's convenient, fast and it's a personalized screening. You will start with a brief interview with a professional who will discuss your screening needs with you. Anonymity guaranteed: all the professionals present are bound by medical secrecy. Plus, it's free!
When to get screened in general?
As early as 7 days after taking a risk, the presence of the first STI such as gonorrhea can be detected. However, it will be necessary to wait 3 months after taking the risk in order to make sure that you are not a carrier of HIV. It is recommended to get tested once a year if you do not change your partner or if you change partners very little. If you have multiple partners, it is recommended that you be tested every 3 months.
