Preventive Care
Want to know how to stay healthy? Here is an interactive tool that will let you know what is recommended based on your age and sex (transgender students can refer to Vaden’s transgender health or on the CDC website.). Then make an appointment at Vaden for any services you may need. Recommendations may vary by different agencies.
Physical examinations to meet special needs—for employment, scholarships, programs abroad, etc., are offered at Vaden for a fee. The charge for a physical exam depends upon the complexity of the examination you need. Charges vary for X-rays or immunizations. Please call to schedule an appointment.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Services related to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) include:
- Screening, if you are at risk but have no symptoms
- HIV testing, confidential or anonymous
- Testing for symptoms that may indicate the presence of an infection
- Treatment for STIs
- Education about STI prevention
Most testing will require a urine sample. To ensure accuracy, do not urinate at least one hour before the sample is taken.
Your risk of infection is determined by your sexual practices, including the use of barriers, choice of partners, and preventive vaccines. To determine your risk for STIs and which vaccines you need, use the online STD Wizard and bring your results to an STI screening appointment. You can also print out and complete this form and bring it with you to your appointment
For more information on individual infections, please go to MedLine Plus Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
For an interactive tutorial on STIs, please go to: MedLine Plus - Interactive Tutorial.
Confidential HIV Testing and Non-Confidential HIV Testing
Medical Services provides HIV testing with a blood test. The lab results are filed in your medical record along with your other test results. Your medical record is confidential, and the results will not be released without your permission unless subpoenaed by law. Positive test results for communicable infections, including chlamydia, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis C, must be reported to the County Department of Public Health. If you need documentation of your results, this is the type of testing you need. Please click here for information regarding non-confidential HIV testing.
