Fraser Valley – As mentioned in their media release– UFV PR is in overdrive on this one.
It is with an abundance of caution and with the intent of providing important health information to UFV students, faculty, and staff, and to the UFV community in a timely fashion that we are issuing this important health advisory.
On Friday, October 28 at 3:45 pm it came to our attention that condoms offered for free in several public washrooms at UFV Abbotsford and Chilliwack locations may have been tampered with.
If you picked up condoms between September 1, 2016 and today at the locations below, please be advised they may not be effective as birth control or as protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Please discard them.
The locations where condoms were available:
- All washrooms on all floors of the SUB Building on the Abbotsford Campus
- The Peer Resource and Leadership Centre area in the SUB Building in Abbotsford
- The reception area of Baker House residence
- The Student Life Lounge in Building A at the Chilliwack campus
If you have a health concern related to this matter, we recommend visiting your family doctor or one of the medical clinics listed below.
All of the 250 possibly affected condoms have been removed from these locations and will not be replaced. If you have further questions about this, please email in confidence to info.studentservices@ufv.ca.
