Offering comprehensive lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) friendly and sex-positive student health centers are central to institutions of higher education being able to retain and support students. Positive sexual experiences for LGBTQIA + students can have an impact on academic success but many LGBTQIA + students are discriminated against and are often victims of microaggressions. Twenty undergraduate students enrolled in a LGBTQIA+ health course. Students in an LGBTQIA + Health undergraduate course at a private Northeastern university assessed what mattered most to them when it came to creating a sex-positive healthcare environment that promotes LGBTQIA + inclusiveness and removes perceived barriers. The themes included expanding mental health care, greater involvement of culturally-competent provider, establishing a stigma-free clinical environment, re-imagining the clinic waiting room, and facilitating sexual health advocacy. Re-envisioning the role of student health centers is critical for ensuring every student has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their full health potential.
提供全面的、对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿/疑问者、双性人、无性恋者（LGBTQIA+）友好且支持性积极态度的学生健康中心，对于高等教育机构留住并支持学生至关重要。LGBTQIA+学生的积极性体验会对学业成功产生影响，但许多LGBTQIA+学生受到歧视，还常常成为微侵犯行为的受害者。二十名本科生参加了一门LGBTQIA+健康课程。一所位于东北部的私立大学的LGBTQIA+健康本科课程的学生评估了在营造一个促进LGBTQIA+包容性并消除感知障碍的性积极医疗环境方面，对他们来说最重要的是什么。这些主题包括扩大心理健康护理、让具备文化能力的提供者更多参与、建立无耻辱感的临床环境、重新构想诊所候诊室，以及促进性健康宣传。重新审视学生健康中心的作用对于确保每个学生都有公平公正的机会充分发挥其健康潜力至关重要。
