Did you know? Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs**) like chlamydia and gonorrhea often have no symptoms. Regular testing is key to staying healthy and preventing the transmission of STBBIs.

Book an appointment for STBBI testing with Student Health and Wellness in February and receive a free PopTart!

How to Book:

* Request an appointment with the Nurse Practitioner through MySuccess using the "Orillia Wellness Request Form"

* You'll receive an email with a link to book your appointment online (appointments are available on Thursday's at the Wellness Centre, room 1012 in the residence building)

* You'll be given your Poptarts at your appointment!

Not sure if you need STBBI testing? You can still book an appointment with the Nurse Practitioner to have your sexual health questions answered. 

*Why STBBI? The term STBBI includes both sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, recognizing that some infections (like HIV and hepatitis B & C) can be spread in multiple ways, not just through sexual contact.
