#12 for results in two weeks, or $25
for results in two days. Students
who meet specific criteria may also
be eligible for FPEP, a federal pro
gram that provides contraception
and free screening for sexually
transmitted infections.
The HIV antibody test at the
health center is confidential but not
anonymous. Positive results are re
ported to the Oregon Health Depart
ment but are not otherwise released
without the patient’s permission.
The health center stopped offering
anonymous testing in October 2001,
when the Names Reporting Law
went into effect.
The law requires health clinics that
identify their patients to report the
names of those who test positive. Clin
ics that do not require patient identifi
cation may offer anonymous testing.
University graduate student
Justin Grishkin said some people
might not feel comfortable taking a
confidential test and would prefer
anonymity. However, he said confi
dential testing wouldn’t deter him
from getting a test.
“Honestly, if I tested positive for
HIV, I wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh my God,
the state knows I’m positive for
HIV,”’ he said. “I would be like, ‘Oh
my God, I’m positive for HIV.’”
HIV Alliance Counseling and Test
ing Director Kelly Moore said anony
mous testing is important for people
worried about privacy.
“Concerns about confidentiality
is a barrier for some people to get
tested,” she said.
HIV Alliance, a nonprofit organiza
tion with outreach programs and serv
ices for people with HIV and AIDS, of
fers free anonymous testing with the
Lane County Public Health Depart
ment. Students also can get both
anonymous and confidential testing at
Planned Parenthood for $30.
Although the health center provides
pamphlets about HIV testing, it does
not offer specific outreach programs
that target the campus community.
“Students can come talk to us
about (HIV),” student peer health
educator Kim Ito said. “As for pro
grams, I don’t think we have any.”
Outreach may convince students
about the significance of getting test
ed, Grishkin said.
“People don’t feel the saliency of
the issue, and they don’t recognize
the range of alternatives or possibili
ties,” he said.
Graduate student Girin Guha said
students may not want to get tested,
even if they know they have engaged

in behavior that might put them at
risk for infection.
“Some days you don’t want to look
at yourself in the mirror; you know
what you look like,” said Guha. “That’s
somewhat like HIV. It’s like checking
your grade when you know it’s bad.”

Recruit
continued from page 1
For the past two years, the Uni
versity’s Ambassador Program has
hired students to work as multicul
tural recruiters who make phone
calls to admitted and prospective
students of color, and also coordi
nate recruitment events.
“I think it is good to have a focus
on students of color, and it’s an im
provement from the past,” Ambas
sador Program Multicultural Re
cruiter Gabriela Serrano said.
Former graduate teaching fellow
Multicultural Recruiter Khaleelah
Rahsaan said the University should
implement retention programs
along with its recruitment efforts.
She said the Office of Multicul
tural Affairs is a great support sys

tem because it offers academic and
emotional guidance, but more re
sources should be made available
to students.
“I know several students have
wanted a retention program on cam
pus,” she said. “I think the Universi
ty should take the time and energy
to develop a retention program be
cause it doesn’t really exist.”
Hulick Baiza said the Office of
Admissions plans to continue host
ing Connections, recruiting at high
schools and expanding knowledge
in the community about resources
available at the University for stu
dents of color.
“In the long run, I hope to put
myself out of business,” he said. “It
would be great not to have to worry
that every group doesn’t have a
chance to pursue higher education.
In the meantime, people like me
are resources.”
