Fellow students and health educators at Olin Health Center offer free counseling and anonymous HIV testing throughout the community, and students can make appointments by visiting Olin's Web site, olin.msu.edu.
The Planned Parenthood Mid-Michigan Alliance also provides HIV and sexually transmitted infection testing, with fees on a sliding, income-based scale, in addition to free pregnancy testing.
Other local organizations, such as The Listening Ear and MSU Counseling Center's Sexual Assault Crisis and Safety Education Program, are designed to be resources for those who have been sexually assaulted.
Students can make appointments at the Counseling Center on the second floor of Student Services.
The Listening Ear has a 24-hour hotline with volunteers trained to handle crisis situations, and the crisis center offers counseling and a support group for women who have been sexually assaulted.
MSU's Women's Resource Center offers services for members of the community who feel they've been sexually harassed.
Jayne Schuiteman, personal safety coordinator for the center, said staff members can help women "get the ball rolling" by explaining how to file a sexual-assault complaint.
If an MSU faculty member is accused of sexual harassment, the chair of that person's department handles the complaint, Schuiteman said, so the resource center can help the complainant work with the right people.
Olin Health Center also offers a variety of other services for students, including gynecological appointments, regular doctor check-ups, general health information and seminars.
Olin nutritionist Ronda Bokram said students should try to stick to a regular eating routine while they're at school and during finals week.
"You're not going to think as clearly on an empty stomach," she said.
