IUP Health Service offers confidential and gender-inclusive reproductive health consultations. Our goal is to provide students with a private, non-judgmental environment to receive care and education regarding sexual health concerns and needs.
Contraception or birth control options are available at Health Service. An appointment with a provider is required to discuss options and determine if an annual exam is needed. You can receive selected birth control from Health Service or receive a script to take to a local pharmacy. Download a guide that describes the various types of birth control options.
DepoProvera injections can be administered at Health Service. Specific information from your provider is needed prior to Depo injection administration. Call 724-357-2550, email health-inquiry@iup.edu, or stop in to talk with staff about the requirements necessary for your Depo injection to be given at Health Service.
Emergency Contraception is offered at Health Service for free. Consultation with a nurse is required in order to receive emergency contraception. You can call or email for an appointment, or stop in to consult with a nurse.
Sexual Health Testing, including pregnancy testing, is offered at Health Service. Pregnancy testing requires a urine sample and is free for students.
STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) testing is available at Health Service. Gonorrhea and chlamydia screening can be done anytime during regular patient care hours. This testing is for anyone who is not having symptoms or who has not been exposed to an STD.
If you are having symptoms of an STD, or you have been told you were exposed to someone with an STD, we ask that you schedule an appointment with a provider to discuss testing options and prophylaxis treatment. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, herpes, trichomonas, and HPV testing are available. Most STD testing is done from a urine, blood, or swab sample.
There are fees for most STD testing at Health Service. Here is a list of testing options and fees. Charges are billed to your student account in MyIUP as a "Wellness Visit Fee" and not as an itemized test. Treatment for any positive STD is free. If you have any questions or concerns, please call 724-357-2550, email health-inquiry@iup.edu, or stop in to talk with our trained staff.
Hormone replacement therapy is not offered at Health Service; however, our staff is able to help with referrals to providers that offer HRT. We can assist with hormone injection administration and education for students already receiving hormone injections.
Receiving care after a sexual assault is important. We strongly encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible after an assault. If you need immediate attention, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. During office hours, Health Service has trained staff to provide confidential, trauma-informed care to survivors. If you have any questions or want to talk to someone, please call 724-357-2550, email health-inquiry@iup.edu, or stop in to our office Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. After hours, call the Alice Paul House, an advocacy office in Indiana, at 724-349-4444, or call the Crisis HotLine at 877-333-2470 24hr/7d.
