In All Seriousness. Seriously.

So I go to law school at a large public university that also has tens of thousands of undergrads. I went to the University Health Center today for a check-up, and requested a full STD screening. Not that I have any reason to believe I may have contracted a STD, but it seemed like a good post-marriage thing to do. A relationship exit-interview if you will.

Anyhow, much to my surprise, the University Health Center no longer offers HIV tests. That's right, frat-central, college-curious, birth-control offering Health Center does not "offer" HIV testing. Instead, interested students are referred to one of two public health clinics, both of which are somewhat distant from the University itself. Furthermore, these public health clinics have noticeable homeless populations hanging around at all times in an area that some may not want to visit. This doesn't bother me, personally. I know homeless folks, and have spent lots of time in places that people wouldn't want to visit. But, I think we have to be realistic in noting that this could deter some students from getting tested.

It's bullshit, and it pissed me off, and I said so. I doubt things will change, but I'll email someone too, just in case. I think it's just terrible.
