OU Health Services strives to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all students. This includes primary care services, preventative health visits, mental health services, nutritional care services and more. We encourage you to talk to your health care provider openly about your sexual identity and gender identity as well as sexual behaviors and practices. All information provided to your health care provide is strictly confidential. We offer screenings such as Pap smears, breast exams, STD testing, as well as maintenance hormone therapy.
Patients should include their full legal name for their file and how they want to be addressed while in clinic on their paperwork. We also encourage patients to share their pronouns with our health care staff during their visit.
Our providers can provide maintenance hormonal services for patients already on stable hormone regimens. You will need to schedule an appointment for a consultation and medical record review before hormones can be prescribed. We also provide assistance with referrals to community providers for those considering transition.
Testing and treatment for infections and STDs, contraceptive counseling and other wellness exams are performed in the Sexual and Reproductive Health Services area. However, patients also have the option to call the general clinic appointment line at 325-4441 option (1) and ask to be seen for an annual exam in the general clinic.
OUHS has gender inclusive restrooms located on all floors of the building throughout the clinic.
Our pharmacy is happy to provide Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) and Post-exposure proohylaxis (PEP) after meeting with a doctor.
If you have insurance and are prescribed Truvada, you can use this voucher to help cover some of your co-payment. truvada.com/how-to-get-truvada-for-prep/truvada-cost
We can prescribe Truvada, Descovy, and Apretude. We can prescribe PEP if you have been exposed to HIV.
Through partnership with the Gender + Equality Center, our medical and counseling staff members have the opportunity to receive Aspiring Ally training so that we can provide the highest quality care to all patients.
“People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) are members of every community. They are diverse, come from all walks of life, and include people of all races and ethnicities, all ages, all socioeconomic statuses, and from all parts of the country. The perspectives and needs of LGBT people should be routinely considered in public health efforts to improve the overall health of every person and eliminate health disparities.”
