MURFREESBORO — The MTSU community will have an opportunity soon to learn more about the dark consequences of unprotected sex.

The Department of Health and Human Performance will sponsor the 15th annual Tunnel of Love from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13, in the Student Union Ballroom. A printable campus parking map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.

Free HIV testing will be available for students, faculty and staff in Room 210 of the Student Union. The test requires a mouth swab. Interested persons should refrain from eating, drinking or smoking 30 minutes prior to being tested.

Participating organizations include the Tennessee Department of Health; the Rutherford County Health Department; Nashville Cares; Agape Adoption Services; Planned Parenthood of Middle Tennessee; Portico; Sexual Assault Center; MTSU Health Services; and the MTSU Raider Health Corps.
