Hey, it’s Anne Herzog Rousseau, a Nurse Practitioner here at Bentley. In honor of World Aids Day, I wanted to remind you to Empower Yourself, Get Tested!
Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or sexual history, we are all at risk.
Did you know...
· 1 in 5 US citizens with HIV are unaware of their status. (CDC-Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
· ¾ college students have not been tested for HIV. (National Collegiate Health Assessment)
Did you also know...
· We offer HIV (and STI -- Sexually Transmitted Infection) testing right here on campus? WELL, WE DO!
HIV testing on campus consists of two office visits, each about a half hour in length. At the first visit we assess your health history and any specific risk factors for HIV. We can answer ANY and ALL questions you have. We then collect a specimen for the test. At the second visit we show you your results and go over them with you.
Our appointments are CONFIDENTIAL and the cost is $30. Paying in cash helps to assure confidentiality.
All you have to do is make an appointment with me or any of the nurse practitioners in our office—we’d be happy to see you.
Here are some great resources on STDs, HIV and testing:
