About the Bedside Box

Accessible Sexual Health Resources on UNC's campus.

The Bedside Box program was created in 2019 to provide sexual health resources to UNC students at no cost. Through this program, students are able to access barrier methods and learn comprehensive sexual health information. The goal of the Bedside Box is to promote safer sex methods among UNC students and reduce risky sexual behaviors, STI transmission, and unwanted pregnancies.

About Bedside Box

Learn a Little

The below video is a shortened version of our sexual health workshop, Come As You Are. In it, we discuss consent, STI & pregnancy prevention, birth control & barrier methods, and partner communication & pleasure.

First Image:
A grey background with different colored squiggles and black text. The title reads "New Plan-IT SAFER pack item" below is a picture of a green packed with a small white strip with a red tip. Below the image reads "Xylazine testing strips! What is Xylazine? Xylazine, also known as “Tranq” is a veterinary tranquilizer that has no reversal agent for humans. It is typically found in counterfeit opioids like fentanyl, but not limited to opioids. It is not an opioid itself.
Because of its lack of reversal agent, it’s even more important to make sure to check pills for this drug. For the month of April, we will have Xylazine testing strips available for our Plan-it SAFER packs!"

Second Image:
A white and grey rumpled sheets background with the test "Bedside Box: April Monthly Item" with a peach and a banana graphic. To the right of that text, yellow burst graphic with the text "Mystery Box!" Underneath both are an image of a teal blindfold, a orange tube with a strawberry on it, and a circular picture with the text "No Shave, No Shame" with a set of legs. Along with this, there is the text saying: "We are including a random Bedside Box monthly item! Including Toy Joy Lube, No Shave No Shame Stickers, and more! Each item will come with a little printout explaining the importance of each!"
