CHWS is partnering with AHF (AIDS Health Foundation) to offer free HIV and STI testing on campus. AHF has a Mobile Testing Unit that will be on campus several times this semester with the first time being during the Logger Wellbeing Fair. No appointment needed. Testing is confidential and judgement free, so we encourage everyone to stop by. You can also take the time to ask them about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). They can help with PrEP sign ups as well. 

CHWS staff will be sharing information about Naloxone: 

• What it is
• How it works
• When to use it

Understanding how to support someone in the event of an opioid overdose can save a life. This event is open to all campus members.
