The LBCC student health resource center offers a variety of sexual health products and testing for HIV/STDs.
Both TTC and LAC offer intermittent testing through truck labs that regularly rotate between campuses.
Condoms and lubricants are also provided through a grab-and-go system at the health resource centers front desk office located in the A building.
When posed the question of expanding sexual health resources to other areas of campus, student Jonathan Vazquez agreed to the idea.
“There should be, there’s some students that don’t even know…students are clueless, they won’t ask until it’s too late,” Vazquez said.
They also offer female condoms which are occasionally brought out to their front desk.
Deborah Miller-Calvert, dean of student affairs, has not heard back from any of the student body wanting to expand condom access to restrooms.
When asked if students have reached out concerning expanding services, Miller-Calvert explained that students would have to formally express that desire through student run organizations.
“Not that I’m aware of, often students ask us for it such as through ASB or student halls. Never heard students asking for it but students know where they can get our services,” Miller-Calvert said.
Other students such as student Diego Avila, were not aware that the health resource center provided sexual health resources.
“I didn’t know that but yeah I would go over and use something like that,” Avila said.
The funding for health products comes through students, which is a $20 fee tacked on to the overall tuition fee.
If testing trucks are not available they are then redirected to the nearest hospital for testing such as Saint Mary’s hospital which offers the service free of charge
Planned Parenthood also cooperates with LBCC bringing the organization along for health festivals and workshops.
Currently there are no plans to expand sexual health resources to other parts of campus such as restrooms.
