Free Chlamydia Testing for Female UW Students

Chlamydia is the #1 sexually transmitted bacterial infection on university campuses; 5-10% of college aged women have Chlamydia, and many don’t know it.  Hall Health Center is trying to do something about this, by offering free chlamydia testing for female students on the UW-Seattle campus during the 2012 Spring quarter.
