Sexual Wellness

Resources & Links

We applaud you for taking the time to educate yourself about your sexual wellness! There are a lot of myths circulating about sexual wellness, especially about transmission of STIs and HIV. However, it is true that by age 24, about 1 in 3 people will have contracted a STI. Spreading the truth and knowledge about these issues is more important than ever.

Below are the websites or phone numbers of several reputable local and national sexual health resources. If you have a question about sexual wellness that you did not see on our Sexual Wellness FAQ page, you should be able to find the answer to it by contacting any of these resources below. Or, you can always contact the Student Wellness Center at 292-4527 or wellness@osu.edu.
