[00:00:00.109]Alright I think we’re waiting for a few
[00:00:02.219]more folks to join us, but we’re gonna
[00:00:03.969]go ahead and get started here. My name is
[00:00:08.239]Aimee Grindstaff, and I am from the
[00:00:11.550]marketing department at the University
[00:00:13.350]Health Center, and I’m joined today
[00:00:15.887]by Jodi Chewakin, who is one of our
[00:00:18.707]physician assistants on staff at the Health
[00:00:20.737]Center. She’s going to be taking us through
[00:00:23.157]our topic for The Stuff You Weren’t Taught
[00:00:25.317]in School for today’s webinar, which is
[00:00:27.877]Let’s Talk Sex. We’re also joined today by
[00:00:30.727]Shyla Kallhoff from the LGBTQA+ Resource
[00:00:35.044]Center and she is going to talk to us a
[00:00:37.174]little bit about some of the specific resources
[00:00:39.377]that are available through the Center
[00:00:41.777]that are relevant to this topic. There are
[00:00:44.187]a couple things before we get started.
[00:00:46.638]I wanted to let you know first of all that
[00:00:48.518]we are recording and so that’s just so
[00:00:52.972]that we can share this presentation with
[00:00:54.782]those who aren’t able to join us live.
[00:00:56.738]I want to reassure you that, because this
[00:00:59.088]is a webinar, it means that your video,
[00:01:02.105]sound, none of that is being recorded at
[00:01:04.645]all. We can’t see that, so rest assured that
[00:01:08.365]you’re going to be able to stay completely
[00:01:10.335]anonymous here tonight. The flow of the
[00:01:13.325]event is going to be that I’m going to
[00:01:14.895]turn it over to Jodi here in a couple
[00:01:16.391]minutes, and she’s going to go through
[00:01:18.245]a couple quick easy ways that you can
[00:01:21.401]practice safer sex in your own life.
[00:01:23.774]And then the last couple minutes we’ll
[00:01:26.894]save for a Q & A, so if you think of
[00:01:30.114]questions as we’re going through this
[00:01:31.624]presentation, or if you’ve already come
[00:01:33.884]with questions that’s great. You can see
[00:01:36.549]down at the bottom of your screen there
[00:01:38.819]is a button called the Q&A. So, if you
[00:01:41.139]open that up you can actually even press
[00:01:43.789]a button that says ask a question
[00:01:45.509]anonymously so that your name isn’t
[00:01:47.599]attached to your question. Throughout the
[00:01:49.809]presentation please feel free to use that
[00:01:51.819]button and we will be able to answer
[00:01:53.729]your questions at the very end. So with
[00:01:56.211]that, I’m going to go ahead and turn it
[00:01:58.171]over to Jodi.
[00:02:00.481]Okay, well welcome everyone and thanks
[00:02:04.721]for joining us tonight on this rainy night,
[00:02:07.121]hopefully you’re someplace warm and
[00:02:08.901]cozy as we kind of get started with this.
[00:02:11.246]As Aimee said, we’re gonna do Let’s Talk
[00:02:15.088]About Sex, some of the stuff you weren't
[00:02:17.147]taught in school. Let's go ahead and get
[00:02:19.317]started. Aimee, do you want to advance the
[00:02:23.136]slide?
[00:02:25.895]Sorry, I'm working on it here.
[00:02:27.810]That's OK. There we go.
[00:02:30.544]We’re gonna talk about some steps to
[00:02:32.956]safer sex. We’re going to talk about some
[00:02:35.076]topics that maybe are you’re very familiar
[00:02:37.502]with, maybe you’re not as familiar with.
[00:02:39.142]But I think the first things for safer sex
[00:02:41.967]to really think about is honest
[00:02:44.357]communication with your partner or
[00:02:47.430]partners, we’re going to talk a little bit
[00:02:49.510]about informed consent, all the things
[00:02:51.730]you’re doing positively right now,
[00:02:53.812]and safer sex supplies.
[00:02:56.547]:et’s talk a little bit about knowing
[00:02:59.995]really what risk factors that may or
[00:03:03.305]may not be a part of your life, but as
[00:03:05.835]we talk about these kind of things,
[00:03:09.265]that you know you might tuck in
[00:03:11.195]as we’re talking about things today for
[00:03:13.895]questions.
[00:03:14.985]Knowing what risk factors are is a good
[00:03:18.985]place to start. If unprotected sex,
[00:03:22.330]meaning if you’re having sex vaginally,
[00:03:24.570]anally, or orally that’s not protected,
[00:03:27.360]when we talk about protection we talk
[00:03:29.270]probably more so about condoms.
[00:03:30.985]If you have multiple sexual partners,
[00:03:34.100]if you’re having sex with partners
[00:03:36.689]who inject or have ever injected drugs,
[00:03:40.251]if you participate in sex work, and we're
[00:03:42.771]going to talk about that a little bit more.
[00:03:44.685]If you have a partner who participates
[00:03:47.288]in risky sexual behavior, those are things
[00:03:49.888]that can put you at a little bit higher risk.
[00:03:55.029]OK, we'll move forward.
[00:04:00.210]I think, are we doing a survey?
[00:04:06.732]There we go. You all should be able
[00:04:09.302]to see this survey pop up for you.
[00:04:12.104]We’ll talk first about condoms and
[00:04:14.204]what type of condoms are you familiar
[00:04:15.994]with, you can see the questions in front
[00:04:18.234]of you and we’ll kind of advance from
[00:04:20.224]there depending on answers. We'll wait
[00:04:36.008]just a few seconds until everybody
[00:04:37.888]can get the answers in.
[00:04:39.516]What I’m seeing kind of across the board,
[00:04:46.036]I’ve kind of got a little bit of a tie.
[00:04:47.586]I’m not familiar with condoms = 25%,
[00:04:50.196]50% = I use external condoms, and
[00:04:52.566]then 25% I’ve used condoms but I
[00:04:55.586]don’t know the difference between the two
[00:04:57.556]types. We’re gonna close that out.
[00:05:00.325]Let’s talk a little bit about external
[00:05:02.761]condoms, these are maybe ones that
[00:05:04.481]people are fairly familiar with. They
[00:05:06.601]come in multiple different types.
[00:05:09.015]Latex is the most common and most
[00:05:11.365]most effective type of condom. We also
[00:05:16.515]have to think about our people that
[00:05:19.595]are using condoms that have allergies to
[00:05:22.045]latex, and that’s very common in this day
[00:05:24.085]and age. There’s actually some polyurethane
[00:05:26.457]non-latex condoms that are a little bit
[00:05:28.640]thinner. They’re a little bit more
[00:05:30.590]expensive. They’re not quite as flexible
[00:05:32.430]as latex. Those are also available.
[00:05:35.090]Externally, we also have a condom that
[00:05:39.090]is made out of lambskin. These are what
[00:05:41.337]some people call kind of the natural kind
[00:05:44.817]of condoms and they’re made out of the
[00:05:46.437]digestive tract of sheep. These are a little
[00:05:51.617]bit more gentle but they do not protect
[00:05:54.027]against HIV or STIs. They’re very
[00:05:56.767]porous and that can, those tiny little
[00:06:00.767]holes and pores in the condom, but they’re
[00:06:03.307]not always, they’re enough to keep
[00:06:05.497]the sperm out but maybe not some of
[00:06:07.017]the other viral things that we want to
[00:06:08.378]be concerned with. The internal condoms
[00:06:13.151]are kind of like a pouch. This is if you’re
[00:06:17.373]going to have anal or vaginal sex. It
[00:06:21.053]does also reduce the risk of STIs.
[00:06:23.302]They’re thicker and they’re a little bit
[00:06:25.762]more resistant to tearing, these are
[00:06:28.182]always latex free. They have kind of
[00:06:30.922]a wider opening because if you’re putting
[00:06:33.272]in vaginally a little bit wider into that
[00:06:35.132]pelvic area. There’s actually a flexible
[00:06:38.472]ring at each end. For anal sex, we
[00:06:42.472]recommend to take out that ring,
[00:06:44.879]the internal ring. If you’re going to
[00:06:48.169]use it vaginally, then you would leave
[00:06:50.629]that internal ring in place, and then
[00:06:54.629]there’s an external ring that would be
[00:06:56.379]outside of the vagina. The one pearl
[00:07:02.586]that I would like you to really think
[00:07:05.006]about is never use these in combination,
[00:07:07.250]external and internal, and don’t ever
[00:07:10.420]use two external condoms together.
[00:07:13.230]Cause sometimes we think that’s going
[00:07:14.970]to give us extra protection, but actually
[00:07:17.000]it sometimes causes more friction and
[00:07:19.260]causes them to tear. So that would be
[00:07:22.950]something I would highly recommend to
[00:07:25.300]not do is use both of them at the same
[00:07:27.660]time. Where you get these condoms?
[00:07:30.950]We’re gonna talk a little bit more later
[00:07:32.957]about resources on campus, but we
[00:07:36.957]do have condoms and Sexual Health
[00:07:40.112]Resource Kits that we’re gonna talk a bit
[00:07:42.202]more about. those are placed throughout
[00:07:44.622]campus. We have condoms that are
[00:07:46.452]available at the Health Center that are
[00:07:48.255]free. Planned Parenthood and other
[00:07:50.665]family planning entities out in the
[00:07:52.545]community, and of course you can purchase
[00:07:54.905]them at pharmacies (we have a pharmacy
[00:07:57.505]in our building University Health Center),
[00:07:59.965]supermarkets, convenience stores, gas
[00:08:01.885]stations, and you can actually order them
[00:08:03.715]online. You can be a member of
[00:08:05.145]Trojan.com and they will deliver them to
[00:08:07.101]your doorstep. Next slide.
[00:08:11.101]Next thing, we’ll talk about are dental
[00:08:13.391]dams, and I’m not sure how familiar you
[00:08:15.511]are with these, but these really are just
[00:08:18.051]small thin square pieces of latex and
[00:08:22.771]they are used for oral vaginal and oral or
[00:08:25.621]anal sex. They get their name
[00:08:28.121]because we use them in dental procedures.
[00:08:30.282]They prevent STIs by keeping vaginal
[00:08:34.502]fluids and anal fluids away from
[00:08:39.232]your mouth. They come in lots of
[00:08:41.442]sizes. They have lots of flavors.
[00:08:44.181]There are a couple of entities with those.
[00:08:46.602]As well is that you only want to use
[00:08:50.602]one side one time and you don’t want
[00:08:53.092]to use one vaginally then one rectally,
[00:08:56.382]don’t flip it around because then you’re
[00:08:58.472]going to expose yourself to the fluids
[00:09:00.392]you’re trying to prevent yourself from
[00:09:01.932]getting exposed to.
[00:09:03.541]You have to use it one time, and then
[00:09:06.421]that’s it. They can move around a little
[00:09:09.521]bit so you can either hold them in place
[00:09:12.411]with your fingers, you can put a little
[00:09:14.771]bit of water or maybe even some silicone
[00:09:17.383]lubrication on the dam and then up
[00:09:21.383]against the skin. Sometimes that will
[00:09:23.373]help hold it in place. But then again,
[00:09:26.033]if it rips or tears, you want to make sure
[00:09:30.452]to replace it. So, you know, we’re
[00:09:34.162]kind of all on COVID craziness, sometimes
[00:09:36.782]you have to get a little bit creative
[00:09:41.462]with things that you might
[00:09:42.812]experiment with things in your own home.
[00:09:45.338]There’s non-microwavable plastic wrap
[00:09:47.888]that you could use. If you have gloves,
[00:09:50.508]I’m thinking like gloves that you would
[00:09:52.423]do housecleaning with, those type of
[00:09:54.283]gloves you could use. If you have condoms
[00:09:56.436]you can actually cut the condom to lay
[00:10:01.106]flat as a square and you could use
[00:10:03.176]that. And then we have probably
[00:10:05.676]in a kitchen you probably have
[00:10:07.213]plastic sandwich bags. Those could
[00:10:09.153]be used as well. So those are some
[00:10:12.543]options to think about as you know
[00:10:15.043]we’ve all kind of been stranded at home,
[00:10:17.315]and things that you maybe have
[00:10:19.385]in your own household.
[00:10:25.905]We'll move on. We're covering lots of
[00:10:27.765]topics here tonight so, one thing I would
[00:10:31.145]invite you all to attend to, is the next
[00:10:33.925]webinar that’s coming up here in
[00:10:35.995]October it’s called Explore Your
[00:10:37.545]Contraception Options. Many times, people
[00:10:42.658]when they think of contraception,
[00:10:44.738]they immediately go to condoms,
[00:10:46.298]and then they go to birth control pills
[00:10:47.808]because those maybe are the most common
[00:10:49.348]things that you’ve learned about or talked
[00:10:51.718]about or you know have had some education
[00:10:55.068]on those. But there’s so many other types
[00:10:57.108]of options that we’re just gonna do a
[00:10:58.968]complete webinar on that in and of itself.
[00:11:01.334]On your screen, on the slide, you’ll see
[00:11:05.004]lots of different options here. We have
[00:11:07.444]larks or IUDs. We talk about birth control
[00:11:13.394]pills, rings, we talk about condoms, and
[00:11:16.004]we’re gonna go into that in way more
[00:11:17.864]depth, but I would encourage you to go to
[00:11:20.289]the website you see on this screen. It’s
[00:11:23.439]bedsider.org it has a lot of information,
[00:11:27.829]not just on contraceptives, but on
[00:11:29.339]sexual health in general. It’s really geared
[00:11:32.489]to your generation so I would really
[00:11:35.009]encourage to go look at that site and
[00:11:38.019]then as we get further into the webinar
[00:11:40.999]it’ll probably bring up more questions for
[00:11:43.179]you, but you could also bring those
[00:11:45.059]questions in if you come into clinic or
[00:11:46.799]do a telehealth meeting with one of
[00:11:48.189]us. We’re happy to kind of review
[00:11:50.549]those things with you.
[00:11:54.817]So let’s move forward, and we’re going to
[00:11:57.017]talk about sexually transmitted
[00:11:58.657]infections. So it’s kind of like COVID,
[00:12:03.620]you can do everything right, you know
[00:12:06.450]we can stand six feet apart from somebody,
[00:12:08.650]we can wear a mask, and we can
[00:12:09.980]wash our hands and we can do everything
[00:12:11.680]right, but somehow some way we might
[00:12:13.910]still contract COVID. Kind of the same
[00:12:17.120]thing with an STI, it can happen to
[00:12:19.520]anybody. You know, it can happen, you know
[00:12:23.060]maybe you’re in a relationship, maybe
[00:12:25.430]it's the heat of the moment and you
[00:12:27.220]forget to use protection, you have a
[00:12:29.740]condom that breaks. It should not define
[00:12:34.881]you as a person, because in all honesty,
[00:12:37.271]about 50 percent of people are going to
[00:12:40.151]end up with an STI somewhere in their
[00:12:42.051]lifetime. So it’s extremely common and
[00:12:46.721]so we’re going to talk about ways to be
[00:12:49.381]tested and treated for that. Statistically,
[00:12:53.031]there’s about 20 million new infections
[00:12:56.461]every year in the United States. When
[00:13:01.301]we talk about how they’re transmitted,
[00:13:03.211]there are many different ways, but most
[00:13:04.991]of them are passed vaginally, orally, and
[00:13:08.221]with anal sex. A lot of times there can
[00:13:11.801]just be, you really just have to have
[00:13:13.971]skin-to-skin contact for those viruses and
[00:13:17.011]bacteria to transmit back and forth.
[00:13:20.352]Sometimes you don’t have any symptoms,
[00:13:22.778]you may have it and have no signs
[00:13:24.468]or symptoms at all. The hardest part
[00:13:27.598]with that is that if you have an infection
[00:13:29.674]and you leave it untreated it can cause
[00:13:32.687]some long-term problems, especially
[00:13:34.367]if you’re a person that has a uterus. It
[00:13:37.277]can lead to infertility or if you have
[00:13:40.837]repeated infections that are long term
[00:13:43.237]that haven’t been treated. It can also
[00:13:45.027]cause some chronic infections for you.
[00:13:47.638]The good part is that with a lot of the
[00:13:51.638]STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea
[00:13:53.848]and syphilis. They’re very treatable, very
[00:13:55.928]curable. There's modern medicine. We
[00:13:58.248]have medications that we give you and
[00:14:01.698]that you take and that will clear up and,
[00:14:04.108]so to speak, cure that infection.
[00:14:06.392]But then we have some of the viral
[00:14:09.278]STDs, and those are HIV, herpes, and HPV
[00:14:13.896]Those are treatable, but there’s also viruses
[00:14:19.590]that kind of live with you throughout
[00:14:21.950]your lifetime. Now, what I always tell
[00:14:25.120]patients is that you know you may have
[00:14:27.470]this virus, but that doesn’t mean it's
[00:14:29.380]active all the time. It’s something that
[00:14:30.980]you’re gonna carry, but that doesn’t
[00:14:32.970]mean you’re going to have an infection
[00:14:34.640]with it. That’s another good topic to talk
[00:14:37.888]with one of your health care providers
[00:14:39.806]when you come in for routine checks to
[00:14:43.806]have that kind of discussion. Let’s talk
[00:14:47.116]a little bit about getting tested.
[00:14:53.091]Aimee, lets go back a slide if we can.
[00:14:58.216]Nope, the other way.
[00:15:01.783]Sorry, hold on a second. Let me exit out.
[00:15:04.373]It’s not going back here. OK.
[00:15:06.651]There we go. Hang on, we're all working
[00:15:13.363]from different entities here tonight.
[00:15:15.723]Here we go. We’ve got a little bit
[00:15:17.763]about getting tested for STDs. So
[00:15:22.948]when should you get tested? If
[00:15:26.948]you’re concerned that you may have
[00:15:28.388]been exposed, that would be a good time
[00:15:30.068]to be tested. If you’re actively having
[00:15:32.648]symptoms, if you’re having discharge,
[00:15:34.609]you’re having pain, then you should be
[00:15:37.109]tested. If you have a partner that
[00:15:39.709]tells you that they have contracted
[00:15:42.859]an STI, we definitely want you to come
[00:15:46.099]in and then get tested and be treated
[00:15:48.029]for those. If you have a uterus and
[00:15:50.539]you come in for yearly check-ups,
[00:15:52.229]that’s a really good time to get tested
[00:15:53.809]at that time, kind of just like a screening
[00:15:56.199]measure guideline starting at age 21
[00:15:58.604]we should probably be doing that about
[00:16:01.344]every year. Let’s say that you don’t
[00:16:03.964]really have any symptoms, you’re
[00:16:05.844]kind of questioning, so what we
[00:16:09.114]would say is we should have you
[00:16:12.304]wait at least two weeks after sexual
[00:16:14.804]contact for testing if you’re not having
[00:16:16.634]any symptoms. If you’re having
[00:16:19.494]symptoms, then we want you to call
[00:16:21.344]the Health Center and you can make
[00:16:23.654]an appointment to talk with a provider.
[00:16:25.574]Or if you don’t have any symptoms
[00:16:28.324]but you have a partner who said
[00:16:30.294]that they had an infection and you
[00:16:33.794]could have been exposed, we also
[00:16:35.474]want you to contact us and then we
[00:16:37.494]do some treatment and also test you.
[00:16:39.690]If you’re really not having any symptoms,
[00:16:45.300]you don’t necessarily have to see a
[00:16:47.130]provider. There are some phone
[00:16:49.190]prompts and the phone nurses
[00:16:51.140]can kind of walk you through those and
[00:16:53.410]you know things are a little bit different
[00:16:54.800]just because of COVID. So if you’re in
[00:16:57.450]doubt, you’re not sure, make sure you
[00:16:59.264]just give the health center a call and
[00:17:00.924]we can walk you through those.
[00:17:02.577]Just to kind of recap, if you do not
[00:17:04.987]have any symptoms, we ask you to
[00:17:07.254]kind of wait two weeks. If you had
[00:17:10.554]a partner that tested positive and
[00:17:12.514]you’ve been exposed, we want you
[00:17:13.944]to come in we’ll get you treated
[00:17:16.324]right then and there. The most common
[00:17:18.514]things that we’ll see is chlamydia
[00:17:20.414]and gonorrhea, and we would treat you.
[00:17:22.599]Then we recommend, if your test is
[00:17:25.609]positive, you don’t have any sex for
[00:17:27.419]two weeks and then repeat testing in
[00:17:29.852]about two to three months. All the
[00:17:34.091]providers on the medical side at the
[00:17:36.561]Health Center can prescribe medications
[00:17:38.821]for testing, I’m sorry, for positive STI
[00:17:43.651]tests. One thing is that we at the
[00:17:46.551]Health Center we can do, and
[00:17:48.731]we’ll probably cover this in another
[00:17:51.181]screen also, is chlamydia and gonorrhea
[00:17:53.831]and HIV are free if you’ve paid your
[00:17:56.251]student fees, so those can, you
[00:18:00.251]can be tested for those at any time,
[00:18:02.535]symptomatic or no symptoms, it
[00:18:05.895]does not go in your health record,
[00:18:07.435]parents don’t know if you’re on your
[00:18:09.605]parents’ insurance. Just a little caveat,
[00:18:13.605]an HIV test is a blood test. So just so that
[00:18:16.226]you are aware of that.
[00:18:17.516]If you’re not having symptoms we can
[00:18:19.876]do a urine test, if you’ve had oral sex
[00:18:22.856]with someone we should do a throat swab,
[00:18:25.199]if you’ve had anal sex, we should also
[00:18:28.781]do a swab of the anus. We look at
[00:18:31.981]those three entities and areas that
[00:18:33.921]need to be tested because you could
[00:18:36.431]have a positive test in one area and
[00:18:38.341]not the other, and that means sometimes
[00:18:41.141]the treatment is a little different
[00:18:43.001]depending on what area of the body that
[00:18:45.391]you would if you test positive.
[00:18:49.130]Okay, I think we can move forward.
[00:18:51.178]So, let’s talk a little bit about PrEP.
[00:18:54.298]I think we have another poll. If you’re
[00:18:58.782]familiar with it and you’ve used it,
[00:19:00.528]if you’re familiar and you haven’t used
[00:19:02.568]it, if it’s not relevant for the type of
[00:19:04.338]sex you have in your life, and you’re
[00:19:06.478]not familiar with it, you’re not sure if
[00:19:08.758]it’s something you need or not.
[00:19:27.026]OK, so it looks like you’re familiar
[00:19:30.143]but you’ve not used it, it’s not relevant,
[00:19:32.669]and then 67% of you are not familiar
[00:19:35.489]with it. Let’s go ahead and we’ll get
[00:19:38.209]started with what PrEP is.
[00:19:41.789]So PrEP is a daily medicine that you can
[00:19:44.889]use for HIV, it keeps it from replicating
[00:19:47.959]inside your body, it’s prescribed for
[00:19:50.469]HIV negative individuals who are at
[00:19:53.729]an ongoing risk or higher risk of getting
[00:19:57.729]HIV. Some of those risk factors
[00:20:03.559]would be having an HIV positive
[00:20:05.489]partner, having more than one
[00:20:07.399]sexual partner, same sex partners,
[00:20:09.699]partners who participate in anal
[00:20:12.035]intercourse, and a history of maybe
[00:20:14.165]inconsistent condom use and then
[00:20:16.535]knowing to share needles or supply.
[00:20:20.535]So those would be people that would
[00:20:22.315]be a little bit higher risk. We can
[00:20:29.535]move forward. PrEP again is
[00:20:33.535]if you’ve had anal or vaginal sex
[00:20:35.965]in the past six months and have a
[00:20:37.945]sexual partner that is HIV positive,
[00:20:40.032]you’re not consistently using condoms,
[00:20:42.400]maybe you don’t know all your partners,
[00:20:44.170]maybe you’ve had a partner that has
[00:20:46.214]injected HIV or you’re maybe sharing
[00:20:48.504]those needles and supplies.
[00:20:50.266]It’s a medication that is a once daily.
[00:20:54.266]It involves commitment, it involves
[00:20:57.201]initial screening for HIV, lab work, and
[00:21:02.011]ongoing appointments with your
[00:21:06.011]health care provider. If you’re not
[00:21:08.861]sure if you should or should not be on
[00:21:10.811]it, that’s fine, that’s what we’re here
[00:21:12.701]to talk with you about it and then help
[00:21:15.041]you make a decision whether or not that
[00:21:17.963]you should be using PrEP.
[00:21:24.367]OK, let's talk a little bit about sexual
[00:21:27.497]health for sex workers. So what
[00:21:30.917]is sex work? So it is the exchange
[00:21:33.007]of sexual services, performances or
[00:21:35.717]products for material compensation.
[00:21:38.486]It can be survival behavior. We know
[00:21:43.076]that some people have lost jobs,
[00:21:45.953]so some people are using sexual help
[00:21:49.953]or sexual performances to help
[00:21:53.953]pay for college or household expenses.
[00:21:56.386]It doesn’t always mean sexual act
[00:21:58.616]or sexual contact with someone else
[00:22:00.526]maybe it’s phone sex, maybe its other
[00:22:02.936]types of sexual activities. The one
[00:22:09.036]thing we really wanna make sure
[00:22:10.846]that is if someone is engaged as a sex
[00:22:13.506]worker, that we wanna make sure
[00:22:15.096]that if they actual have physical activity
[00:22:17.396]that we actually want them to come in
[00:22:19.266]regularly for STD screening.
[00:22:21.942]If there’s a possibility of pregnancy
[00:22:25.942]that you would like to not become
[00:22:29.417]pregnant then there’s lots of
[00:22:31.107]contraception options that are available,
[00:22:34.567]which we’ll again talk further on in
[00:22:37.007]upcoming webinars. One thing I
[00:22:40.207]think for any of the topics that we’re
[00:22:42.287]talking about tonight, there’s no
[00:22:43.697]judgement when you come into the
[00:22:45.227]Health Center. We’re simply here to
[00:22:46.877]help you, help answer some questions,
[00:22:49.324]to treat you. The more honest you
[00:22:51.874]are with us the more we can be
[00:22:53.924]of service to all of you. I think you
[00:22:58.334]know, sometimes people need
[00:23:00.616]help to set some boundaries and
[00:23:03.322]they’re not quite sure how to do that,
[00:23:04.853]we also focus on mental health.
[00:23:07.767]If you are a sex worker, there
[00:23:15.357]sometimes can be some stigmas
[00:23:17.938]and other things that go along with
[00:23:19.538]that line of work, and not necessarily
[00:23:21.488]are they always true, but sometimes
[00:23:23.208]it's helpful to find someone in the
[00:23:26.438]health care realm who can also help
[00:23:28.505]you kind of work through some of
[00:23:30.105]those everyday stressors.
[00:23:31.813]Whether that’s journaling, meditation,
[00:23:35.126]stress balls, sometimes just talking
[00:23:38.356]to a professional can kind of help you
[00:23:40.576]work through some of those areas,
[00:23:42.266]and as, you know, we have kind of a
[00:23:43.806]medical side in the health center, and
[00:23:46.176]then also mental health providers.
[00:23:48.416]We work hand in hand with each other
[00:23:50.608]so, we would like you to come on
[00:23:52.998]in if you have some concerns and we’re
[00:23:54.938]happy happy to help you out.
[00:23:59.287]So let’s talk a little bit about sex
[00:24:01.197]and the coronavirus. Here’s our question.
[00:24:03.577]It isn’t recommended to have sex right
[00:24:05.347]now because of social distancing, true
[00:24:07.547]or false? You all are thinking hard
[00:24:27.506]on this one. Alright, so I have 60%
[00:24:31.977]say true and I have 40% say false.
[00:24:34.603]Well, the answer can be both. I suppose,
[00:24:39.773]I would say maybe false. You know
[00:24:41.483]sometimes we have to get a
[00:24:43.013]little bit creative in this generation
[00:24:44.773]of COVID and what you’re going to
[00:24:46.673]and not going to do. Probably the
[00:24:50.053]one thing I would recommend is to
[00:24:52.493]avoid any sex parties at this point.
[00:24:55.403]It’s probably not the most ideal time
[00:24:57.943]for group sex. Avoiding other people’s
[00:25:01.943]body fluids. We know a little bit about
[00:25:05.033]COVID, we know a little bit about how
[00:25:07.333]it is spread, we certainly don’t know
[00:25:08.833]everything about it, we don’t know if
[00:25:10.793]it can be spread through other body
[00:25:13.078]fluids. Probably just airing on that
[00:25:18.818]side of caution a little bit. Avoid
[00:25:21.818]sharing other types of body fluid
[00:25:23.858]with, especially during sex partners
[00:25:27.608]or with people that you’re not as
[00:25:29.428]familiar with. This is, you know,
[00:25:31.988]we use technology, right? We have
[00:25:34.078]Skype and Zoom and FaceTime
[00:25:36.643]and we do all of that for classrooms
[00:25:38.343]and keeping in touch with our
[00:25:39.471]families so there’s no reason
[00:25:41.181]you can’t use that technology also
[00:25:43.700]as part of your sex life at this point.
[00:25:47.159]So whether that’s with a current
[00:25:49.329]partner that you can’t be with,
[00:25:51.130]if that’s part of being a sex worker
[00:25:53.929]that’s also an option for you.
[00:25:55.872]Sometimes we talk about, you know,
[00:25:58.462]that mutual masturbation that can
[00:25:59.942]be in the same room, this is the
[00:26:01.829]part where you should stay six feet
[00:26:03.459]apart from each other so, however
[00:26:05.759]reasonable that is, I’m not so sure.
[00:26:07.533]But that is also an option for you.
[00:26:09.401]And then the other is going solo.
[00:26:11.171]Now, self-masturbation is very
[00:26:13.281]common, and I would say that if
[00:26:17.166]you use any types of sexual toys,
[00:26:19.526]just make sure that you clean them,
[00:26:21.938]especially if you share them with other
[00:26:24.494]partners. If you do I would recommend
[00:26:26.656]that you clean them and then make
[00:26:28.146]sure that you’re using condoms to
[00:26:30.006]cover them. We also talk a little bit
[00:26:33.626]about the quarantine bubble, that
[00:26:35.566]kind of a new thing if you’re in that
[00:26:37.566]committed relationship and you
[00:26:39.226]all quarantine at home together,
[00:26:41.248]then it’s probably okay to have sex with
[00:26:44.054]that partner if you’ve had sex with
[00:26:47.094]that person prior. So, just some
[00:26:50.834]things to think about because
[00:26:52.134]coronavirus has kind of interrupted
[00:26:53.634]our lives in lots of ways, and sex is
[00:26:57.074]just one of them.
[00:27:00.348]Let’s talk about some tips now for
[00:27:02.288]a healthier sex life, I think one of the
[00:27:05.148]most important things is communicate
[00:27:06.668]with your partner or partners, talk
[00:27:09.118]about what your sexual preferences
[00:27:10.628]are, communication helps reduce stress.
[00:27:12.804]Some people, when they’re really
[00:27:14.871]stressed, become very hypersexual,
[00:27:16.930]some people become very hyposexual.
[00:27:19.062]It can affect your libido and for some
[00:27:22.272]people it can prevent, it can cause
[00:27:26.652]erectile dysfunction. We talk about
[00:27:28.972]maintaining a healthy diet for healthy
[00:27:31.332]sex, and just kind of life in general.
[00:27:33.392]Eating foods that raise your moods
[00:27:36.102]and increase your libido, citrus fruits,
[00:27:39.746]oysters, yes that is really true, salmon,
[00:27:41.876]leafy green vegetables, whole grains.
[00:27:45.076]So just kind of having a well-balanced,
[00:27:47.086]healthier diet will also increase that
[00:27:49.766]and keep you healthier for a healthier
[00:27:52.046]sex life. Alcohol always comes
[00:27:54.156]into it a little bit in conversation
[00:27:55.756]we talk about sex, some people need
[00:27:58.966]that one shot or one drink of liquid
[00:28:01.116]courage because it can increase that
[00:28:05.116]sexual desire. But it also can be harmful
[00:28:07.796]and too much alcohol can reduce your
[00:28:11.236]body’s risk or your response to sexual
[00:28:13.706]stimuli, it can make sex less enjoyable,
[00:28:17.706]and it can cause erectile dysfunction.
[00:28:21.538]The other thing with alcohol we
[00:28:23.338]know that it can impair your attention,
[00:28:26.488]you know that decision making skills,
[00:28:28.909]it makes it harder to practice safer
[00:28:31.019]sex, it makes it harder to give or say
[00:28:35.019]no to consent. Watch that alcohol
[00:28:39.019]intake a little bit. Vitamins, vitamin D
[00:28:43.019]we know can increase sex hormones,
[00:28:45.040]zinc can improve sexual function
[00:28:47.432]and increase testosterone levels,
[00:28:49.348]Vitamin C, and there’s an amino acid
[00:28:52.538]called arginine that helps improve
[00:28:54.888]blood circulation, and this helps with
[00:28:58.158]erections and sexual pleasure. So, there
[00:28:59.938]are some vitamins that you can take.
[00:29:01.647]Exercise in it of itself we know
[00:29:04.487]that it raises your endorphins, which
[00:29:06.447]boosts your mood and typically
[00:29:08.437]increases that sex drive. We also know
[00:29:11.117]that it makes you healthier and improves
[00:29:13.137]your stamina. It also can make you feel
[00:29:15.617]more confident in yourself. So all of those
[00:29:17.607]things with some regular exercise can
[00:29:21.607]increase your sex life.
[00:29:23.040]Kegel exercises, if you are a person
[00:29:25.630]with a uterus, you can do this to
[00:29:27.290]increase your lubrication and physical
[00:29:31.290]pleasure. And the nice thing about
[00:29:32.790]doing Kegel exercises is that they’re
[00:29:34.620]a pretty private exercise, you can do
[00:29:36.480]these while you’re driving the car you
[00:29:38.450]can do these while you are in class,
[00:29:40.080]basically the best way that I have
[00:29:42.733]taught people over the years to do this
[00:29:44.700]is put your finger in the vagina, squeeze
[00:29:46.970]around the finger, those are the muscles
[00:29:48.480]that you need to use to do a Kegel
[00:29:50.120]exercise. Again, you can do these while
[00:29:53.260]you are driving at every stoplight and so
[00:29:55.770]on. These are pretty private exercises.
[00:29:58.072]Tobacco we know that there’s so
[00:30:01.162]many things that are all not good
[00:30:02.962]about it, one of the other things we
[00:30:05.102]also know is that it decreases those
[00:30:07.242]blood vessels, and that decreases the
[00:30:10.292]blood supply and actually so it can
[00:30:14.292]actually cause erectile dysfunction for
[00:30:16.912]a lot of patients. Healthier sex life,
[00:30:20.552]we’ve talked a lot about condoms
[00:30:22.472]so if you are going to use them make
[00:30:24.112]sure you use them appropriately. As we’ve
[00:30:26.822]had temperature changes, as we’ve
[00:30:28.382]had a drop in temperature just here the
[00:30:30.422]last couple of days a lot of condoms can be
[00:30:33.192]heat sensitive so be careful where you’re
[00:30:35.932]storing them. Keep them handy, have
[00:30:38.322]them with you, but if you carry one in
[00:30:39.852]your wallet all the time and it’s been there
[00:30:41.432]for a while make sure you grab a new one.
[00:30:44.422]And then, talk to your health care
[00:30:46.892]professionals. There’s lots of medical
[00:30:49.352]problems, medical conditions, or mental
[00:30:51.972]health problems that could cause problems
[00:30:54.432]with your sex life and we certainly can help
[00:30:56.762]kind of tease that out. There’s also
[00:30:58.502]medications that can lower libido and then
[00:31:02.022]hopefully one of your providers
[00:31:03.562]would be able to help kind of talk
[00:31:05.372]you through or figure out if there is
[00:31:07.132]a problem if there could be some kind
[00:31:10.012]of underlying problems. And this is also
[00:31:13.030]a good time to be talking to them about
[00:31:14.720]STI’s as well.
[00:31:17.589]So, resources. There we go.
[00:31:20.909]Resources we have at the Health Center,
[00:31:23.622]lots of birth control prescriptions
[00:31:26.362]that we can do, emergency contraception,
[00:31:28.879]that is over the counter now but
[00:31:31.087]sometimes there is the question
[00:31:33.477]of when and how you should use that
[00:31:35.896]so we’re happy to answer those questions.
[00:31:37.521]We would love to have you come in for
[00:31:39.461]yearly annual exams. We talked about HIV
[00:31:42.541]screenings and that is covered by
[00:31:44.161]student fees, that is a free test but
[00:31:45.941]again it is a blood test, just to remind you.
[00:31:48.141]HPV vaccine is available for all, we
[00:31:53.631]really recommend everyone getting
[00:31:55.461]that and that is something that we can
[00:31:57.451]do at the Health Center, it a series of
[00:31:59.271]three shots over a period of six
[00:32:00.981]months ideally. We can do medical
[00:32:04.271]exams for sexual health concerns,
[00:32:06.469]we can do lots of pregnancy testing,
[00:32:09.245]we can talk about PrEP and PEP
[00:32:11.705]prescriptions, and then the STI testing,
[00:32:15.705]most things we do is chlamydia and
[00:32:17.425]gonorrhea testing, again these are
[00:32:18.525]covered by student fees.
[00:32:22.766]We have some other resources on
[00:32:24.806]campus. I’m gonna switch this over to
[00:32:27.263]Shyla, and she’s gonna share with you
[00:32:29.733]a little bit more about what else is
[00:32:31.193]available on campus.
[00:32:33.511]Hi everyone, I just want to quickly
[00:32:36.231]share a little bit about the resources
[00:32:38.971]that the LGBTQA+ and the Women’s
[00:32:41.021]Center can provide. So the first is a
[00:32:45.021]partnership with the Nebraska AID’s
[00:32:46.719]Project, and in that partnership, we’re
[00:32:48.999]providing free and anonymous rapid
[00:32:51.369]HIV testing. Those test clinics happen
[00:32:54.949]three times in the fall semester on
[00:32:57.497]September 17th, October 15th, and
[00:33:00.507]November 19th, all from 3:30 to
[00:33:02.807]5:30 and those are gonna be on the
[00:33:04.577]third floor of the Union in room 338.
[00:33:06.922]Another great resource that we can
[00:33:10.022]provide is our Sexual Health and
[00:33:12.042]Resource Kits, so Jodi talked about
[00:33:14.567]condoms and other contraception
[00:33:18.567]products earlier, but in these kits
[00:33:22.377]we provide three condoms, lube,
[00:33:24.930]and just some basic information
[00:33:26.884]sheets on safe sex. In addition to
[00:33:30.884]just the kits, we have latex free
[00:33:34.584]condoms, internal condoms, and dental
[00:33:37.014]dams that you can request as well.
[00:33:39.130]The free kits are outside of the
[00:33:41.950]Women’s Center basically 24/7
[00:33:44.023]whenever the Union’s open, but there
[00:33:46.493]are distribution points all over campus.
[00:33:48.732]For those and if you want if you
[00:33:52.732]didn’t have a chance to write down
[00:33:54.422]about the HIV testing, that information
[00:33:57.522]is all housed on the Women’s Center
[00:33:59.292]website. So if you wanted to go check
[00:34:01.582]that out it’ll have the distribution center
[00:34:03.907]points and then more about our
[00:34:05.484]anonymous HIV testing. Alright so at
[00:34:15.164]this time we want you to go ahead
[00:34:16.944]and submit those questions, so if you
[00:34:20.944]have any go ahead and use the Q&A
[00:34:22.944]box for that now.
[00:34:26.316]So the first question we have gotten
[00:34:28.353]and then Shyla if you could help us answer
[00:34:30.933]this is: How do we request the
[00:34:33.235]free resources, those Sexual Health
[00:34:36.075]Resource kits that you have?
[00:34:37.815]So students don’t really need to go
[00:34:41.815]through the request process, they
[00:34:44.315]are available for pickup outside of the
[00:34:46.635]Women’s Center on the third floor of the
[00:34:48.355]Union, and then as I mentioned there
[00:34:50.205]are other distribution points on campus.
[00:34:51.985]So I know the Health Center will
[00:34:53.305]have them, some Residential Life
[00:34:54.605]buildings will have them as well, and
[00:34:57.565]we’re working on maybe figuring out
[00:35:00.425]like a mailing system process or in
[00:35:02.875]collaboration with the Nebraska AID’s
[00:35:04.485]Project might look into something like
[00:35:06.345]that as well. But if it’s a department or
[00:35:09.042]you know a student group who may need
[00:35:10.892]them definitely just go to the Women’s
[00:35:13.062]Center website and fill out the, its like
[00:35:15.342]a pretty short request form, and then
[00:35:17.062]we can get them made up to you within
[00:35:19.512]the week.
[00:35:22.288]While we’re waiting for more questions to
[00:35:24.228]come in, we’ve got a couple questions
[00:35:27.238]prepared to maybe get you all thinking
[00:35:29.248]a little bit. So one I know that we’ve
[00:35:31.420]heard before, Jodi, is I don’t have sex
[00:35:34.810]I just mess around, can I still get an
[00:35:37.200]STI? What would you say to that?
[00:35:39.240]Yes, you can still get an STI, if there
[00:35:44.180]is skin to skin contact, if there’s
[00:35:46.650]finger stimulation, there still can be
[00:35:51.760]a risk of getting an STI depending.
[00:35:55.760]There's lots of other STIs out there as well
[00:35:59.760]but yes there certainly can be even if
[00:36:02.170]you’re not actually having penetration
[00:36:04.170]but you’re just having skin to skin contact
[00:36:06.250]you still can get an STI.
[00:36:10.933]Awesome. So another question is
[00:36:13.593]let’s say right now in the time of
[00:36:15.543]social distancing you want to have sex
[00:36:17.863]with your partner or partners. Do you
[00:36:20.353]need to wear a face mask while you
[00:36:23.103]are having sex?
[00:36:25.692]Oh that’s a really good question.
[00:36:27.597]If you’re in that quarantine bubble,
[00:36:29.728]and you’ve been with this person
[00:36:32.024]and it’s a monogamous relationship
[00:36:33.864]I don’t think that you need to wear
[00:36:36.346]that face mask. If it’s a partner or
[00:36:40.936]a person that you don’t know and
[00:36:42.836]you’re not really social distancing,
[00:36:45.148]then that might be a point where yes
[00:36:48.618]you probably should and you might
[00:36:50.468]rethink having sex at that point if it’s
[00:36:54.098]not with somebody who’s in that little
[00:36:55.658]bubble with you.
[00:36:58.236]Okay, and then one more question:
[00:37:00.366]So we talked about PrEP tonight a little
[00:37:03.046]bit, so some people on this might
[00:37:05.136]not have heard of PEP before so can
[00:37:07.696]you tell us a little bit about what
[00:37:09.466]PEP is and how it’s different from PrEP?
[00:37:12.341]Sure. So PrEP is a daily medication,
[00:37:16.341]just to kinda review, PrEP is a daily
[00:37:19.091]medication that you take to prevent
[00:37:21.201]HIV. PEP is post exposure, and this
[00:37:26.661]can be exposure, needles, sexual exposure,
[00:37:32.794]somebody you didn’t know maybe was
[00:37:35.704]at a sex party, things like that, there
[00:37:37.744]wasn’t protection. So PEP is post
[00:37:41.094]exposure, depends on what that
[00:37:43.234]actual exposure is, the best is to start
[00:37:47.234]this immediately, as soon as we can
[00:37:49.795]after that exposure. No longer, we usually
[00:37:53.795]say 72 hours or much sooner, 72 hours
[00:37:58.465]is kind of the cut off point to start the
[00:38:00.375]medication. It is actually three
[00:38:02.515]medications, it’s taken for a
[00:38:04.645]duration of four weeks, there
[00:38:07.085]is lab work that is involved
[00:38:08.655]initially, there is labs at two weeks
[00:38:11.134]then labs at four weeks. There is some
[00:38:16.284]question, is four weeks enough?
[00:38:18.269]Current studies are saying yes, four
[00:38:20.529]weeks. So that’s how it’s different from
[00:38:22.889]PrEP, which PrEP is the daily medication
[00:38:25.156]that is taken indefinitely.
[00:38:30.008]Alright, we’ve got another submitted
[00:38:31.838]question here, and so this question
[00:38:34.148]says: I know several high school
[00:38:35.558]students and even college students
[00:38:37.559]turn to watching porn to get their sex
[00:38:39.449]education information, or to learn
[00:38:41.569]more about sex. What are your thoughts
[00:38:43.981]on helping people find more educational
[00:38:46.331]resources to avoid the stereotypical
[00:38:48.997]images of sex or negative feelings?
[00:38:52.715]That’s a really good question and
[00:38:54.765]I think, especially now, lots of
[00:38:57.445]people quarantine, they’re doing
[00:38:58.845]lots of internet surfing, they’re
[00:39:01.058]trying to figure out a way to kind
[00:39:03.018]of fill some time and space, and I think
[00:39:04.728]the best for us as providers in health
[00:39:07.394]care and on campuses is providing
[00:39:10.049]information on better resources as far
[00:39:16.507]as things like--Sorry I have my timer
[00:39:19.247]on to keep myself on time here.
[00:39:21.654]But like bedsider.org is a good
[00:39:23.901]place to go to. We actually have
[00:39:27.140]some sex therapists in the city of
[00:39:28.880]Lincoln who can give us more
[00:39:30.358]information on websites and more
[00:39:32.238]information that is not pornographic
[00:39:37.438]but on how sex is actually a natural
[00:39:40.008]part of life.
[00:39:44.633]Thanks Jodi and I’ll add to that too
[00:39:46.523]just saying, part of the reason why
[00:39:48.633]we started this webinar series is to
[00:39:50.753]answer some of those common
[00:39:52.573]questions that haven’t really been answered
[00:39:55.161]either in school or from your
[00:39:56.641]health care provider, you know, up
[00:39:58.621]until this point so we’re always looking
[00:40:00.541]for more ideas, and want to hear about
[00:40:03.301]the topics that you feel like there need
[00:40:05.861]to be more education on.
[00:40:07.161]So you can always send an email
[00:40:09.803]to the Health Center, to the LGBTQA+
[00:40:12.801]Resource Center, the Women’s Center
[00:40:14.277]and let us know your thoughts, and
[00:40:16.044]we will always start working on
[00:40:17.574]getting some more information
[00:40:18.804]out there about that.
[00:40:19.833]The next submitted question says:
[00:40:21.863]Does the LGBTQA+ Resource Center
[00:40:24.178]do any support for queer or
[00:40:25.998]questioning high school students
[00:40:27.768]who often don’t have school resources
[00:40:29.698]for learning about safe sex?
[00:40:33.843]Yeah so we get called out to do
[00:40:36.813]presentations pretty often, and those
[00:40:38.953]presentations can be like basic
[00:40:40.523]LGBTQA+ presentations, but they
[00:40:43.233]can really range so we can talk about
[00:40:45.223]safe sex, different topics like that.
[00:40:48.078]And also encourage people to call and
[00:40:51.338]email even if they aren’t UNL students,
[00:40:53.158]definitely just get in contact with us, and
[00:40:55.988]hopefully we can connect you to campus
[00:40:58.089]and community resources as well. Even if
[00:41:00.969]they’re not connected to UNL as a student.
[00:41:09.934]Alright so I’m gonna do a last call on
[00:41:12.894]questions while I move onto the next
[00:41:14.704]slide. We just want you to be aware
[00:41:19.864]of some upcoming webinars that
[00:41:21.934]we have on the schedule for the rest
[00:41:23.704]of the fall semester.
[00:41:24.824]So Jodi already talked about the
[00:41:26.684]one in October that’s called Beyond
[00:41:28.854]the Pill, so we’ll be talking about
[00:41:30.714]other contraception options that are
[00:41:33.384]out there beyond just the pill or
[00:41:35.184]condoms, so make sure you join us for
[00:41:37.574]that. It will be the same type of
[00:41:39.464]process as you did for this webinar
[00:41:41.664]where there will be a registration link
[00:41:43.864]that we will put out on the UNL events
[00:41:46.544]calendar it will be in listservs like the
[00:41:49.295]Next@Nebraska newsletter, the Women’s Center Newsletter, etc.
[00:41:53.295]So be on the lookout for that one.
[00:41:55.406]And then in November we’re going to
[00:41:56.996]do one of reproductive health concerns,
[00:41:59.019]which will be about some common
[00:42:02.169]concerns like PCOS, endometriosis,
[00:42:05.622]fibroids, and some other similar concerns.
[00:42:09.622]We’re still exploring some more
[00:42:11.382]topics for spring but we’ve talked
[00:42:13.132]about doing topics on understanding
[00:42:16.032]your anatomy, a little bit more about
[00:42:18.622]periods and what to look for on that,
[00:42:21.142]so if you have some other ideas
[00:42:23.112]of topics you’d like to learn about
[00:42:25.351]send us an email and let us know
[00:42:27.191]because we’re still planning those.
[00:42:28.648]You can contact us a couple of different
[00:42:31.178]ways, so I put Jodi’s email here so
[00:42:35.178]if you have a question that wasn’t able
[00:42:38.018]to be answered tonight or you didn’t
[00:42:40.268]feel comfortable asking, you can always
[00:42:42.438]reach Jodi through her email.
[00:42:44.458]I know I think she would appreciate it
[00:42:46.478]if you could put like: "Question about
[00:42:48.718]Webinar" or tie in "Webinar" in the
[00:42:50.708]subject line just so she knows what
[00:42:52.788]you’re talking about, as we encourage
[00:42:54.908]that of course. The Health Center
[00:42:57.322]our main number is listed here,
[00:42:59.298]you can call that to make an appointment.
[00:43:01.062]I think sometimes when we think
[00:43:03.302]about health care you think about
[00:43:04.902]making an appointment for a specific
[00:43:06.672]concern, but you can always come in
[00:43:08.602]just to see Jodi or some of our other
[00:43:09.938]providers to just get some more
[00:43:11.748]education about things.
[00:43:13.158]So if you have some questions,
[00:43:15.299]make an appointment with us and
[00:43:17.240]we would love to help you out. And
[00:43:18.664]you can learn more about the Health
[00:43:19.984]Center at our website listed here.
[00:43:21.951]And the LGBTQA+ Resource Center
[00:43:24.229]you can contact them at their email
[00:43:26.931]address here, and then their website
[00:43:29.091]is listed at the bottom of the screen as
[00:43:31.291]well. And so since it is 7:45 and
[00:43:35.291]we’ve answered a couple of questions,
[00:43:37.278]I think we’re going to go ahead and
[00:43:38.758]wrap up tonight but please reach out to
[00:43:41.168]us if you need anything else.
[00:43:42.678]Thank you so much for joining us,
[00:43:44.314]and we will hopefully see you all for our
[00:43:47.664]October webinar on Beyond the Pill.
[00:43:50.517]Thanks, everybody. Have a good night.
