The Health Unit Sexual Health Clinic staff partnered with the University of Windsor and St. Clair College to offer fun, mass STI screening events on each campus in 2015. The goal of the events was to raise awareness and reduce stigma of STI screening. Students were engaged to plan and lead the promotion of the events in a participatory health promotion model. Each student received a free T-shirt for providing a small urine sample for STI testing of chlamydia and gonorrhea.
