Kansas State University's LGBT Resource Center in Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs is partnering with Positive Connections to bring free monthly HIV and STI testing to the Manhattan campus. Testing can be accessed through the K-State Student Union ground entrance to the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 8.

Testing is confidential and provided by licensed testing specialists. All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to get tested.

Walk-ins are welcome, or you can register for testing by emailing lgbt@k-state.edu.

Free testing events will continue to be available each month in spring 2023. For any further questions, contact the LGBT Resource Center at lgbt@k-state.edu.
