SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION 
TESTING & COUNSELING (INCLUDING HIV) -

By Appointment - Please phone 860-685-2470

The Affordable Care Act makes it mandatory that insurance plans cover the cost of sexual health testing at 100%. If you choose to file to private or student insurance you will not be charged at the Davison Health Center. However many students wish to pay out of pocket for services and the discount  pricing below can be charged to your student account as "miscellanous lab fee".  A $5.00 lab processing fee is charged directly to student accounts.

Students who have been sexually assaulted may choose to seek care at the Davison Health Center.  Students will be counseled in options for reporting or not and offered transport to Middlesex Hospital for an evidence collection kit if appropriate (see link).  Students can choose any option available. STI testing will be covered when done at the Davison Health Center.  This includes any medication available in the Health Center Dispensary.  Students will be assessed for risk and if appropriate other medications will be offered by prescription to be filled at a local pharmacy under private/student insurance plans.
