Antibiotic resistant STIs such as gonorrhea and Mycoplasma genitalium are of increasing concern, however, health professionals may not be aware of new therapies and alternative regimens to address these infections. In 2025 two new oral therapies for gonorrhea were approved by the US FDA, which can be used in case of allergy to ceftriaxone. Additionally there have been additional studies from Australia (Htaik et al 2025) that describe alterative regimens for MG treatment failure. This session will inform providers about potential alternative therapies for antibiotic resistant STIs, as well as new developments in STI testing technology that will prepare them to accurately diagnose STIs and treat challenging cases. Additionally, there are now multiple oral and injectable regimens for HIV pre exposure prophylaxis, and a new biannual regimen, lenacapvir was recently recommended by the CDC for use in the US in the 2nd quarter of 2025. Given the regimen is so new, health care providers may not be aware of pros/cons of each regimen and how to deliver counseling messages. This session will discuss both oral and injectable PrEP regimens, including efficacy and side effects, so participants are prepared to counsel their patients on selection of biomedical HIV prevention medication.

The Mapping the DNA of Integrated College Health Services Webinar Series will be a series of continuing education opportunities for ACHA members addressing the organization and delivery of integrated services (health, counseling, health promotion) on college and university campuses. Each webinar will focus on a key topic of integration such as integrated program models, culture building across professional disciplines, space design and layout, shared policies and practices, shared electronic records, and integration with campus partners. The webinar series is being sponsored by the newly formed ACHA Integrated College Health Coalition and will also include the development of a repository of evidence-informed models of integration, published articles, implementation guides, policies and practices for integrated systems, and other useful integrated college health resources.

The ethics of multiple relationships in healthcare professions has historically received significant attention, particularly from a “do no harm” risk management approach. Less attention has been paid to multiple relationships in university healthcare settings, where they are frequent and unavoidable. The presentation will address both a risk management and positive ethics approach, including a brief history of multiple relationships, defining terminology, sharing real world examples, and applying an ethical decision making model to case studies.

This session will review manifestations of STIs in the mouth and hands and discuss transmission risks from digital contact, oral sex, and deep kissing. We will review case scenarios and review counseling messages for patients/students who ask about risks of STI/HIV transmission from oral sex.

Mental health and other dimensions of wellness in higher education continue to be a priority among students, staff, faculty and administration. Most are in agreement that the conversation must shift away from individual wellness indicators and towards a more holistic well-being approach that includes effective policies, programs and services. Through informal surveys and online conversations, it’s clear that student health and counseling centers still often perceive themselves as being responsible for student well-being and that a conversation about how to engage and break down silos with other campus entities on well-being work is needed. Campuses utilizing public health and social change models in order to guide campus-wide well-being efforts are proving beneficial. After this session, attendees will be able to better understand what evidence-based methods and models are useful for well-being work, the processes campuses are using to choose a functional model and some of the challenges and successes resulting from their use.

Through informal surveys and online conversations, it’s clear that student health and counseling centers still often perceive themselves as being responsible for student well-being and that a conversation about how to engage and break down silos with other campus entities on well-being work is needed. Collecting campus-level well-being data is one way to help advance that conversation. The American College Health Association has three data collection tools that will be discussed during this session, the new Well-being Assessment, the Healthy Campus Inventory and parts of the National College Health Assessment. After this session, attendees will be able to better understand what data is collected in each instrument and how this data may be used in advancing campus conversations on wellbeing.
