Serial monogamy also adds a risk to relationships. Serial monogamy is having one partner at a time but many relationships. People are essentially having sex with that person and all that person's previous partners, Blanch said. There are numerous places to turn for help, information, guidance and confidential testing. Fronske Health Center has a staff of medical doctors and nurses, a pharmacy, health educators and files full of pamphlets and handouts about STD's.
Education is the key.
I think, in part, ignorance plays a role. The health educators at Fronske offer advice, counseling and information. Its door is always open, said Blanch. The pharmacists are there to help with the students' treatments. The pharmacy also gives free condoms to students.
