Sexual Health at HPW:
Our goal is to foster a sex-positive culture that gives SFSU students the education, tools, and resources needed to do what they deem best for their sexual and reproductive health.
We do this by:
- Providing access to FREE safer sex supplies, such as external & internal condoms, lube, and dental dams
- Offering workshops covering different topics, such as sexual communication, health relationships, and safer sex options and campus resources
- Connecting students to a variety of on and off-campus resources for sexual and reproductive health
