Infections
Continued from page 1A
“It is so important to get tested for
[chlamydia and gonorrheal if you have
ever had unprotected sex. because they are
curable, but can cause sterility if left
untreated,” Griffith said.
Having a visual exam can also identify
certain infections, Griffith said, and
appointments to see a health care provider
are free for students at Beutel.
“We really encourage the testing
because it is so important, and the health
care providers are very understanding”
said assistant health education coordinator
Alyssa Worn mack.
Protection from these infections is
also supported by Beutel, Griffith said,
and condoms are available next to the
pharmacy in the basement of Beutal, and
cost $2 for 10 condoms.
“We don’t only encourage testing, but we
also encourage students to use protection
from these infections, but of course the best
protection is abstinence,” Wommack said.
