However, even individuals who are cured of an STI can be re-infected\u2014that\u2019s why it\u2019s important to use safe sex supplies to protect yourself &amp; others. Students may also choose to be tested for HIV. Although there is no cure for HIV, it can be treated with routine HIV care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who conducts the testing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tests are conducted by certified testers\/counselors from&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.damien.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Damien Center<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/bellflowerclinic.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bell Flower Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H<strong>ow will I be tested?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The methods for testing for STI\u2019s vary. In the case of a blood draw or finger prick, most students find these minimally painful\u2014sometimes described as a pinch. For Gonorrhea and Chlamydia tests, it is important to test the body parts involved in sexual activity\u2014if you choose to be tested for these STI\u2019s, you will privately swab different parts of your body that have engaged in sexual activity, such as: throat, vagina, rectum, or male-bodied individuals may be asked to provide a urine sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How often should I get tested?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Results are usually ready in 2 weeks. Students will need to call Marion County Public Health Department at 317-221-8314 for their results. HIV results cannot be given over the phone and will need to be received in person with ID at Bell Flower Clinic. If a rapid HIV test is done, results can be given immediately in a confidential manner.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"parent":105,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-97","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
