While sexually transmitted infections (STIs) affect individuals of all ages, they take a particularly heavy toll on young people. The CDC estimates that youth ages 15-24 make up just over one quarter of the sexually active population but account for half of the 20 million new sexually transmitted infections that occur in the United States each year.
Harper College wants to ensure that all students are informed and knowledgeable about their safer sex choices. Through a combination of education and resources, Harper Wellness empowers students to make knowledgeable decisions when it comes to their sexual wellness now and for the rest of their adult lives.
Harper Wellness offers free sexual health supplies, which can be found at the bookshelf of the Health and Recreation Center (Building M), Building A 3rd floor Student Engagement Lounge, or the Hawks Care Resource Center in Building D. Students can grab free products that best fit their needs (no questions asked) anytime during business hours.
