Health

The health of all who attend CumUnion is extremely important to us.
While our parties can be a great place to let go and have a good time, they can also lead to unwanted sexually transmitted diseases. We STRONGLY support 90 day testing for sexually active men. Be a part of our community’s wall of protection by getting tested both before and after our parties to limit the spread of STD/STIs.

At CumUnion, all men can fuck equally.
 We encourage everyone to communicate openly and honestly with their sexual partners in regards to their risk comfort. This allows for each individual to protect themselves however they see fit.

Our parties are DRUG FREE events.
CumUnion guests agree to abide by the rules and policies set forth by each individual venue when attending a party. PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR PARTIES DRUG FREE!

All parties are stocked with FREE condoms.
Many of our parties offer FREE on-site STD/STI testing.

On each CumUnion Location page there is a listing of local community resources which can help you to maintain your sexual health. We’ve also provided some helpful resources in the list below.

What is pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)?

PrEP is a new HIV prevention method that involves HIV negative people taking anti-HIV medications daily to help prevent HIV infection. Several studies have shown that PrEP can reduce the risk of becoming HIV-infected when taken daily as part of a package of prevention services. The only drug that is currently approved for use as PrEP by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is Truvada, a medication commonly used to treat HIV positive individuals.
