Sexual and Reproductive Health Services

Campus Health & Wellbeing provides information, evaluation and treatments regarding your sexual and reproductive health needs.

We see students for many different reasons. Whether it’s pelvic pain, trouble with your current birth control, a discharge, burning when you pee, rectal pain, irregular periods, erectile issues, relationship problems, yeast infections, bladder infections, STIs or anything else. We support you in any choice that you make, including being sexually active or choosing abstinence.

Please call or schedule online with one of our medical providers.

Appointments for services are encouraged to best meet each student's needs. Please visit the Health and Counseling Portal to schedule an appointment or call 805-756-1211 for Health Services or 805-756-2511 for Counseling Services.

Sexual assault assessment

• We work closely with Safer and provide medical services for any concerns related to sexual assault or intimate partner violence.

Being Educated is Sexy

A comprehensive, sex education canvas course for Cal Poly students, by Cal Poly students is now available. In this anonymous, self-guided course, you'll learn about the basics of sex and topics like pleasure, STIs, violence prevention, and resources available to students. Can't find answers to your sex questions? Ask them anonymously in the modules and get answers directly from student researchers. Contact the Sexual Health & Reproductive Health Lab with any questions: srhlab@calpoly.edu or Dr. Roberts jrober81@calpoly.edu the faculty member overseeing the lab. 

Condoms and More!

• We are also working to make contraception products more readily available to students around campus. Students can access free latex and non-latex condoms, lubricant, and latex squares at the ground level of the Health Center (building 27) at the Wellbeing Services front desk.
• Turn your latex condom into a DIY dental dam. Transform a condom into a dental dam by cutting off the top and bottom, cutting down one side, and unfurling it. A condom as a dental dam remains impermeable against pathogens, however, you should be careful not to poke a hole anywhere in the condom while cutting it. Dental dams can be used for protection during oral sex by lying flat over the vaginal opening or anus. Similar to condoms, dental dams should be used once and disposed of in the trash.
