Sexual Health
Sexual activity can be a healthy, happy, positive aspect of life, for those who choose to engage. WesWell is committed to promoting sexual health awareness and providing resources for the Wesleyan community. We offer a range of safer sex supplies, consent and communication workshops and outreach, information on STI testing and support, and resources for survivors of sexual violence. Sexual health should be a priority for all, whether or not they are currently sexually active. Below are some resources to help you navigate sexual health at Wesleyan.
