Let’s kill this myth once and for all 😤 — you can’t catch an STI from a toilet seat, towel, or casual contact.

STIs spread through s*xual or fluid contact, not by sitting where someone else sat or swimming in the same pool.

What does keep you protected?
✔️ Using condoms and dental dams
✔️ Getting tested regularly
✔️ Having open, honest convos with your partner

Let’s be honest—dental dams don’t get enough love in the safer s*x convo. 🥲⁠
⁠
A dental dam is a thin, flexible sheet (latex or non-latex) you place over the v***a or a**s during oral s*x to help prevent STIs—kind of like a condom for oral play. 🙌🏾⁠
⁠
Here’s your quick guide to using one like a pro:⁠
✅ Protect against STIs⁠
✅ Keep it single-use⁠
✅ Add some flavor (literally like a lollipop 🍭)⁠
⁠
Having protected s*x can still be cute. 💅🏾 Come visit us to get free dental dams, condoms, or to book a screening. We got your back. 💪🏾⁠

When they ask “are you talking to anyone else?” like they weren’t replying every 3-5 business days.😭

Let’s be real — if someone’s not matching your energy, you don’t owe them exclusivity or explanations.

College dating can be fun, but it should always be safe.
If you’re seeing someone (or a few someones 👀), protect your health and your peace.
We’ve got you covered with free condoms, l**e, and dental dams — no judgment, just support. 🤎

If no one’s gassing you up this morning, do it yourself!
You’re that person. You’ve got the vision. You’re the energy. ✨

Positive affirmations don’t have to be serious —
sometimes it’s just reminding yourself,
I’m unstoppable, hydrated, and slightly unhinged (in a good way).” 😂☕

Happy Monday ya’ll. Keep doing your thing!

We’ve all been there… 😩 Ignoring the red flags because the heart wants what it wants. But sometimes, letting go is the real act of self-love. ❤️‍🩹

When you feel torn between what you want and what’s good for you, pause and check in with yourself:
💭 How do I feel after talking to them — drained or peaceful?
💭 Do they meet my current needs?
💭 Am I choosing comfort over growth?

It’s okay to love someone and still know they’re not right for you. You’re human – be patient with yourself. 🫶🏿

When you’ve been holding it together all week… and that one tiny thing finally breaks you 😭

You’ve been grinding through classes, group projects, work shifts, and with three hours of sleep.
Then boom — your laptop freezes, someone bumps your coffee, or your professor says ‘pop quiz,’ and suddenly you’re fighting for your life. 😩🔥

We’ve all been there. Sometimes it’s not the big stuff that breaks you — it’s the final straw that hits when you’re already running on empty.

Take that as your sign to slow down, breathe, and give yourself a little grace. 🧘🏾‍♂️
You don’t always have to be the strong one — it’s okay to rest and reset. 💛

Let’s clear this up once and for all: washing, peeing, or douching after s*x does NOT prevent STIs. 🙅🏿‍♂️

Sure, cleaning up is good hygiene, but it won’t stop STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea from spreading. The only real way to protect yourself?
✔️ Use condoms or dental dams
✔️ Get tested regularly
✔️ Talk openly with your partner about s*xual health

Protect your peace, protect your body. 💪🏾

Let’s get real — consent isn’t complicated.
If someone crosses your boundaries or tries to pressure you, that’s not “mixed signals.” That’s a red flag. 🚩

Here’s your reminder:
✔️ “No” is a full sentence.
✔️ Silence is not a yes.
✔️ You never owe anyone your body, time, or energy.
✔️ Real partners check in — not push past.

Need support or want to talk to someone? We’ve got you covered. Come to our offices and chat.

↗️ Share with a friend — help them remember they deserve respect too.
Your comfort matters. Your “no” matters. You matter. 💪🏾

Real ones check the condom before they use it. 👀

It takes 10 seconds to make sure it’s safe —
✅ Check the expiration date
✅ Make sure there are no tears or holes
✅ Feel for even texture (no dry spots or stiffness)

Fun fact: When used correctly, condoms are 98% effective at preventing pregnancy and significantly reduce the risk of STIs — including HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.

Stay ready and stay safe, fam. 🤎
We got you with free condoms, l**e, and dental dams right here on campus— no judgment, just support.

When your brain is fried, your eyes are burning, and you're running on Red Bull and vibes at 2AM…
That’s your body telling you: “Hey, I need a minute.” 😮‍💨💻💤

Tigers — you don’t have to earn rest. You deserve it.
You can’t do your best if you’re running on empty.
✨ Close the laptop.
✨ Stretch. Breathe. Drink water.
✨ Take a 10-minute break — or a real nap.

You don’t need to suffer to succeed. Take care of your body and mind — and watch how much easier studying gets.

Work smarter. Take care. You got this. 💛

Swipe through to learn about 5 of the most common STIs for ages 18–21 — what they are, how they spread, and how to treat them. The more you know, the better you can protect yourself. 🖤

Here’s the truth:
✔️ Many STIs have no symptoms at first.
✔️ Most are treatable (or manageable) if caught early.
✔️ Getting tested regularly keeps you and your partners safe.

Don’t wait until it’s serious — know your status and wrap it up every time. 💪🏾
