Objective: To examine HIV/STI testing behaviors, awareness of self-sampling kits, and knowledge of PrEP among minority college students attending a large public university in North Texas. Participants: A convenience sample of 110 students (64.8% Black, 35.2% Hispanic/Latino) completed an anonymous online survey between October and November 2023. Methods: A cross-sectional survey assessed sexual behaviors, HIV/STI testing history, self-sampling, PrEP awareness, and condom use. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. Results: Most participants had never tested for HIV (73.6%) or STIs (68.2%). Awareness of self-sampling kits (23.6%) and PrEP (18.2%) was low; only 2.7% had used a kit, and inconsistent condom use was common. Despite these risks, most recognized that young adults remain vulnerable to HIV (91.8%) and STIs (97.3%). Conclusions: Persistent disparities and limited awareness of prevention resources exist among minority college students. Expanding culturally relevant education, PrEP outreach, and self-sampling access is essential to advance sexual health equity.
