"Its was important to me as a young black man if my partner and I was having intercourse, I would like to know her status because its good for us to know , either get tested or don't know at all, said Jerry Clyde, Sociology major.
Junior and SGA/SDC student leader, Teresa Jackson stated, "As a student leader wanting to show students it's important to protect yourselves and it's important for them to do it too."
