Sexual Health: A state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. https://www.who.int/topics/sexual_health/en/
What is The Red Zone? The red zone is shorthand for the first six weeks at the beginning of the school year when a disproportionate number of campus sexual assaults take place. This does not mean sexual assaults don t happen at any other time of the year. https://uwosh.edu/titleix/redzone/
FACT If a person is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, the person is unable to consent to sexual activity. The law states that a person impaired by drugs or alcohol cannot consent to sexual activity. https://uwosh.edu/titleix/redzone/
MYTH White women experience the highest rates of sexual harassment. While sexual harassment is experienced by people of all racial and ethnic groups, women of color continue to experience higher rates of sexual harassment and are less likely to report the sexual harassment. https://uwosh.edu/titleix/redzone/
MYTH People who identify as heterosexual are more likely to experience sexual violence than people who identify as LGBTQ+.

Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually Transmitted Infections Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are often caused by bacteria or virus and typically (not always) passed from person to person during sexual contact. STIs are more common with college students because they explore sexually and romantically during college putting them at a higher risk. http://www.ashasexualhealth.org/stdsstis/statistics/
STIs can be transmitted through kissing, external genitalia contact, vaginal, anal, and oral sex, exposure to blood and shared contact with sex toys etc. If sexually active, practicing safer sex can reduce the chance of STIs. If you believe you re at risk of infection, getting tested allows you to get any treatments you may need. http://www.ashasexualhealth.org/stdsstis/statistics/
