Fiji National University (FNU) offers free HIV/AIDS and STI screening clinics for students to promote health and wellness.
Dr Henry Waqa, the university’s General Practitioner, believes these screenings are crucial for early detection and prevention of illnesses.
Especially when there is an increase in new HIV cases among young people in Fiji.
Accessible Point of Care Testing for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis is currently available at Nasinu UniClinic, with plans to expand to Natabua UniClinic soon.
The testing process is confidential and involves a simple finger prick, with results available within 15 minutes.
If a positive result is found, FNU will provide comprehensive support.
Which includes counseling and referrals to the Hub Clinic for ongoing care and treatment.
