ISU Pride

Although not all college students participate in sexual acts, many do and we at PRIDE hope to help protect and educate our members so that they can have a safe and responsible college experience.  Along with condoms, dental damns and lubrication, PRIDE has books and pamphlets available at meetings and in the office which members can take advantage of.  In addition the ISU Student Health Center and the McLean County Health Department are great resources for information and STD/AIDS Testing.  The Student Health Center Health Stop Resource Library is also available for students to educate themselves about STDs and HIV/AIDS.
