Students

If you are a high school or college student and have become pregnant, you may be experiencing normal feelings of fear, anxiety and hopelessness. Vida helps students find answers to questions like:

Can I finish school while I am pregnant?
What will my friends at school say and think?
How do I tell my parents?
What if my boyfriend doesn’t want to support me?
What do I do if I can’t afford a baby?
What do I do if I don’t know anything about parenting?
What is adoption like?
Is abortion right for me?

All of our medical and support services are free and confidential. We have pregnancy materials and resources designed especially for students to help you learn about your pregnant young body and labor and delivery from a student’s perspective. We will walk alongside you as you develop life skills to help you navigate pregnancy while still attending school.

How many other diseases do STDs lead to?

Sexually transmitted infections can lead to long-term diseases and health problems such as Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in women, infertility, AIDS, cancer, and permanent damage to a person’s brain, heart and body organs.

Can you be born with an STD?

Yes. Some sexually transmitted diseases can be passed to the unborn baby or from contact during the birthing process. Sexually transmitted diseases are spread mainly through sexual activity.

How do you prevent unsafe sex?

Sexual activity is any sexual contact with another person including intercourse, oral and anal sexual activity, and genital skin-to-skin contact with another person. These activities can lead to pregnancy and/or a sexually transmitted infection. Condom use cannot guarantee full protection against any STD. The only way to be 100% safe from these risks is to avoid sexual activity.

We regularly update and add to these commonly asked questions and student resources, so return here often for medically accurate and information regarding sexual health and integrity.

As a young girl, I was embarrassed to admit I may have an STD and did not want to seek treatment/testing. Thank you for providing a safe and comfortable place for women like me to go.

Friendly, supportive, and reassuring. I've never felt so comfortable in a medical setting.

The nurse made me feel like I wasn't alone, have numerous options for help, felt very comfortable. I am extremely glad I made an appointment here today. I would definitely recommend it.

You helped me when I was 16. I was a mess. I'm so thankful for this place. I'm not going to lie-I could have gone another way, but seeing that life in me made all the difference.

I was actually surprised at how often they were sensitive and respectful to my very mixed feelings. It was amazing seeing the heartbeat and also got to find out the gestational age.
