- If you’d like to be tested, arrive early. Fair attendees will be asked if they are interested in getting tested at the main fair check-in and given a number, which will secure their spot in line.
- Tests will be conducted via urine sample, so if you plan on getting tested, be sure to hydrate and do not urinate 1 hour before arriving.
- You will receive instructions after you’re tested about any follow-up, including how to access to results. Any positive tests will be offered FREE treatment at Student Health & Wellness. Eligible partner(s) of students who have positives tests will also be offered FREE treatment without the need to see a medical provider.
