Sexual & Reproductive Health Visits

During a Sexual & Reproductive Health visit, you can speak to staff and Peer Advocates about sex, pleasure, concerns about sexuality, gender identity, and relationships, and to learn about and get connected to other resources on campus.

These visits are confidential and HIPAA-compliant.

Students come to discuss:

• Birth control options
• Emergency contraception (“morning after pill”)
• Pregnancy testing and options 
• Pregnancy termination options (including Medication Abortion)
• Reproductive health
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Anatomy and physiology (menstrual cycle, conception) 
• Pleasure and communication
• HIV testing and treatment
• Identity-affirming peer support 
• Anything else on your mind

Eligibility 

Sexual & Reproductive Health visits are available to any currently enrolled Columbia University student at the Morningside/Manhattanville campuses, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

About Peer Advocates

GHAP Peer Advocates are undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students from across Columbia who undergo intensive training and are supervised closely by professional staff at Alice! Health Promotion.  

Advocates are HIPAA-certified and required to uphold the strictest levels of confidentiality. In the rare case that a student recognizes an advocate, a different advocate will be made available.

Some advocates speak multiple languages, including Mandarin and Spanish.
