Using online hook-up apps to facilitate connections with sexual partners can pose significant concern related to the spread of STIs, regardless of your sex, gender, or sexual orientation. You may not know if you’ve been exposed. If you connect online, read more:
- Be Sex Smart: You typically can't “tell by looking” if someone is infected with an STI. Symptoms may not be present.
- Use Protection: Unprotected oral, anal, and vaginal sex can spread STIs. Safer sex products (condoms, lubes, etc.) are available in our pharmacy.
- Get Tested: STIs can cause infertility and other long-term health problems if not diagnosed and treated early.
- Free on-campus STI screening (pdf) at Cornell Health is available to students.
- Testing is also available off-campus at our local Planned Parenthood and with private health care providers.
