UCF Students: Sexual Health on a Busy Schedule (Testing + PrEP)

College life gets busy fast. Between classes, work, friends, and everything else, sexual health can get pushed to the side. But HIV testing, STI testing, and PrEP are important parts of staying healthy. These are also some of the most common search terms used by top health websites in Florida and Orlando. 

Local clinics often highlight words like free rapid HIV testing, confidential testing, PrEP services, and Orlando care because they match what people look for online. 

PrEP is a medicine that helps lower the chance of getting HIV when taken as prescribed. CDC guidance says oral PrEP can reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed. People taking oral PrEP usually need follow-up visits, HIV tests, and other testing every 3 months. 

Testing matters too. The CDC says everyone ages 13 to 64 should get tested for HIV at least once, and people with ongoing risk should test at least every year. Some people may need testing more often. 

If you want fast, local support near UCF, seek care at Pineapple Healthcare for HIV testing, STI testing, and help starting PrEP on a schedule that works for you.
