Sexuality is part of being human. It is
not simply the act of intercourse but involves your sexual anatomy,
orientation, and many other decisions you will make regarding your sexual
health. It is about making responsible decisions and clarifying your
own personal values. Sexual health is so important that the American
College Health Association lists it as one of the high-priority issues for
campus settings in their
Healthy Campus
2010 document.

Sex in the Dark
The lights are out, the room
is quiet, only a flashlight is on, and a soft voice speaks: "why do women
need a pap test?" This presentation is designed to help students voice
questions and concerns about their sexual health that they are too
embarrassed to ask about. The lights are out so no one will know who is
asking the questions. A discussion takes place after each question is
asked.

Infections
After this program participants should be able to list common sexually
transmitted infections and explain the difference between bacterial,
viral, and parasitic infections, describe signs and symptoms of STI's, discuss how
