Taking care of your health has never been easier! With support from the Department of Public Health, we’re offering free walk-in STI testing for students—no appointment necessary.

All appointments are on a walk-in basis. A representative from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health will be available to provide blood draw and urine tests to screen for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. Results will be kept confidential, and those in need will have access to relevant referrals for treatment, case management, and social services through the city if needed. 

Condoms and other sexual health resources are always available free of charge in Room S3-09 and in the new Health Jawn wellness vending machine located near the restrooms in the Bonnell Lobby. Taking charge of your health is important, and we encourage all interested students to take advantage of this free and convenient resource.
