SHWB offers the medication Econtra EZ ($8) for emergency contraception, which should be taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. For students with a body mass index (BMI) over 25, Ella is available by prescription, which can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse.<\/p>\n
If students are unable to make it to the clinic, emergency contraception can be purchased over the counter at a local drug store, online from Amazon, or www.afterpill.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n A copper IUD can also be used as emergency contraception for up to 5 days after unprotected sex.<\/p>\n We have several products related to sexual and reproductive health available for purchase in our Homewood wellness-to-go vending machine, which can be accessed even when the clinic is closed. For example:<\/p>\n If you are asymptomatic and getting STI testing for screening purposes, this is considered preventative care. The student insurance plan (WellFleet) covers preventive care at 100% (no charge).<\/p>\n Preventive care includes hepatitis B screening, hepatitis C screening, HIV screening, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) HIV prevention medication, syphilis screening, chlamydia and gonorrhea screenings, and cervical HPV testing.<\/p>\n STI screening is recommended annually, but depending on your risk factors you may require more frequent testing. Testing would still be covered at 100% by insurance if your provider makes sure to bill these tests as preventative care.<\/p>\n If you are symptomatic and getting STI testing for diagnostic\/treatment purposes, the WellFleet plan will cover in-network providers at 90% of the cost after you meet your deductible. This means you will be responsible for paying 10% of the cost.<\/p>\n If you have another insurance plan, please contact your plan to find out about coverage. Under the Affordable Care Act<\/a> most health plans must cover a set of preventive services \u2014 like shots and screening tests \u2014 at no cost to you.<\/p>\n Whenever you use insurance, you will likely receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)<\/a>, outlining the cost of the service and what was paid for by your insurance. The EOB is typically sent to the address on file with the insurance company. Please make sure you have the correct address associated with your insurance, otherwise your EOB might go to the wrong place.<\/p>\n There are a number of other options for testing if you don\u2019t want to use your insurance either because of the cost or privacy concerns. These options have the same cost regardless of whether you are symptomatic or asymptomatic:<\/p>\n Student Health and Well-Being (SHWB) offers a variety of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive services, pregnancy testing and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-72","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3278,"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72\/revisions\/3278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellbeing.jhu.edu\/PrimaryCare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
