Over the last two weeks, I have organized a series of events revolving around safer sex on my campus. It was kicked off with a "Safe Sex Fun Sex Fair" at which I had hundreds of condoms (including the ones I received from the Great American Condom Campeign), STI trivia, and Planned Parenthood to hand out information. We had many people come through the fair and receive lots of information and take away many condoms.
The next event was on-campus HIV testing done by Planned Parenthood and the Western North Carolina AIDS progect. We had 40 available tests and every single one was taken! Planned Parenthood also brought Plan-B to sell for $15, which was awesome. Last week we had two workshops, one was done by a professor from my campus who talked about his experience living in New York in the 1980's. His workshop was very well attended by a diverse group of students. The Next workshop was from te Western North Carolina AIDS Project who brought a lot of information on AIDS and other STIs. The final event is happening tonight. It is a wokshop called "Sexy Talk Party." It will be a role-play party to talk about how to disclose having an STI to a partner as well as conversations about consent in relationships. All the spots for the workshop were filled so we are hoping for a great turn out. We are planning to distribute all of the left over condoms from the fair to the dorms on campus, especially the freshmen dorms.
I was very happy to receive a lot of support from the Dean of Students at my school and am hoping for a safer attitude campus regarding sex and STIs. I hope everyone else who has received condoms is having as much success and me distributing them! Good luck in all your efforts.
