Student health and wellbeing are top priorities at FPT University, and part of that commitment is ensuring students have access to accurate, judgment-free information about their sexual and reproductive health. Across its campuses, the university offers students free access to a range of workshops, talk shows, and public health partnerships covering this topic — each run in collaboration with external medical or educational experts rather than left to guesswork.

“Lần Đầu Mạnh Dạn” (Dare for the First Time) in Orientation Week for Freshmen

Every incoming class gets free access to reproductive-health and safe-sex education from its very first week on campus. The talkshow “Lần Đầu Mạnh Dạn” (Dare for the First Time) was organized by FPT University in collaboration with Glink Academy, and with Durex as a supporting partner, as part of Orientation Week for new students. Rather than a one-off lecture, it is built as an open Q&A-style conversation, designed to give first-year students a comfortable, non-judgmental space to ask questions many would otherwise be too embarrassed to raise.

Sex education-related stories were shared with FPTU freshman at Orientation Week 2025.

In September 2025, the program reached new students across multiple campuses: it was held on September 9 at the Can Tho campus, and anchored Orientation Week for the incoming K21 cohort from September 8 to 12 in Hanoi. Within the framework of the talk show, Ms. Nguyen Khanh Chi (Training Director at Glink Academy) and medical experts Dr. Tran Le Duc Tri and Dr. Tran Quang Minh led students through practical, everyday questions: when a relationship is ready to become sexual, how to use condoms correctly, and how to recognize and prevent sexually transmitted infections. Students at both campuses filled the halls for the sessions — a clear sign that the topic was one they actively wanted to learn about rather than avoid.

“Chuyện Khó Nói To” (Say Hard Things Out Loud) Brings Free Reproductive-Health Education

FPT University Da Nang campus extended that same free access later in the year. On December 4, 2025, it partnered with the Sức Khoẻ Việt digital health magazine to hold “Chuyện Khó Nói To” (Say Hard Things Out Loud) — a free public information session at the Alpha Building hall on campus, open to students free of charge through simple online registration, with the theme: “Reproductive and Sexual Health Education for Students”.

The session covered safe sex, reproductive health, and HIV/AIDS prevention, with the stated goal of giving young people a safe space to access accurate, trustworthy knowledge on subjects many still find difficult to discuss openly. Beyond the information itself, the organizers framed the session around changing attitudes and behavior — encouraging students to take an active role in protecting their own health rather than treating it as someone else’s responsibility, as part of building a generation that is healthier, more confident, and more accountable to the community around it.

The sharing session attracted many students who openly discussed sensitive topics regarding sexuality.

“Seg&Life – Seg&MyMind” on Safe Sex Education and Responsible Sexual Behavior

Student-led programming adds another layer of free access to the same topic. On April 4, 2025, Multimedia Communication students at FPT University Ho Chi Minh City campus organized the talkshow “Seg&Life – Seg&MyMind” as part of the “Love Shield” project — a student-driven initiative focused on sexual-health awareness among young people. The event brought in guest speakers Mr. Phuong Nam, co-founder of the comedy content platform Saigon Tếu, and Dr. Luong Thuy Hien, a sexual health consultant, giving students direct, free access to voices from both the creative and medical sides of the conversation.

Across the session, speakers and students discussed safe sex, consent, contraception, and sexually transmitted infections in an open, informal format built to feel more like a conversation among peers than a lecture. The talkshow’s guiding message stuck close to plain, memorable language: sex is not scary — unsafe sex is. That framing ran through the event’s emphasis on self-awareness, mutual respect, and responsible decision-making, encouraging students to see informed choices about their sexual health as a normal part of growing up rather than a source of shame.

The “Love Shield” project provided knowledge on the potential consequences of unprotected sex and promoted the adoption of a healthy sexual lifestyle.

“Love Checkpoint” Turns Awareness into Action: Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Testing

Since November 2025, FPT University Ho Chi Minh City campus students have run the campaign “Love Checkpoint” — a student-led communication campaign built specifically around one message: getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases is a normal, responsible part of looking after your own health, not something to fear or avoid. The campaign gives students free access to accurate information on STD testing through creative content and guidance from health experts, aiming to shift how young people in Ho Chi Minh City talk about testing altogether.

The “LoveCheckpoint” project is aimed at raising awareness about STD among young people.

Unlike a single talk or workshop, Love Checkpoint runs as an ongoing channel: it keeps a dedicated social media page active year-round, posting educational content and running partnerships with outside sponsors to keep its reach going. As of early 2026, the campaign remains active, having just closed out a partnership with a supporting sponsor for its latest round of content — evidence that this is a sustained effort rather than a single campaign that ran once and stopped.

The project encouraged participants to undergo sexual health check-ups to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Conclusion

Together, these programs give FPT University students free, regular, and widespread access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, encompassing both information and education — not as a single orientation talk, but as an ongoing commitment delivered across campuses throughout the year. These efforts all aim to turn a subject often treated as taboo in Vietnam into an open conversation.
