Pee4Pizza is a free, confidential, drop-in STI testing day on campus. All STI testing will be handled by Hamilton Public Health and will not be linked to your student record in any way. Student ID cards will not be used for registration.
It’s important to get tested at least once a year if you are sexually active. Making STI tests part of your routine healthcare is a great way to stay healthy. It should be normal as going to the dentist!
To make it easier for you, we’re bringing Hamilton Public Health to campus. Make sure you don’t pee 1 to 2 hours before getting tested.
How it works:
It’s as easy as 1-2-Pee-4-5
(1) A nurse will give you a small plastic container
(2) Take the container into the bathroom
(Pee) Pee into it to the indicated line
(4) Return the container to the nurse and get a slice of pizza
(5) The container will be sent to the lab for testing
The urine sample will be used to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea in your genitals, the most common STIs in this age group and in Hamilton. If you test positive, you’ll receive a call from Public Health for options for in-person treatment in a private space on campus.
Washrooms on the 3rd floor of MUSC will be gender-neutral for the day. An accessible washroom is available on the 3rd floor, and gendered washrooms will be available on the 2nd floor.
We are excited to have Hamilton Public Health, The Student Wellness Centre and MSU Student Health Education Centre – SHEC tabling at the event to provide more sexual health information.
If you have any questions or accommodation requests regarding this event, please email Noxy (Health Promoter, SWC) at gotonoxy@mcmaster.ca or 905-525-9140 ext. 28040.
