A wellness peer educator uses a pipette Monday to transfer a student’s urine into a test tube during STD testing at the Recreation Center. The sample will be tested at the state public health lab on campus for gonorrhea and chlamydia. The results usually take one to two days, said Angie Bailey, director of health education at the Jackson County Health Department. The program, called “Get Yourself Tested,” is a part of a larger public information campaign known as “It’s Your (Sex) Life.” The campaign is a partnership between MTV and the Kaiser Family Foundation, which work in conjunction with other organizations such as the Jackson County Health Department, SIU Sports and Recreational Services, and the SIU Health Center. – Brooke Grace | Daily Egyptian
