STD Testing At Home

Although discussion on regular STD testing has come a long way over the years, getting tested can still be awkward, time-consuming and sometimes even embarrassing. Anyone who has ever visited a free clinic or doesn’t have a regular physician knows that although regular testing is important, it can be difficult to talk about your sexual history with someone you’ve never met…even if they are a doctor.

Now a more discreet and convenient option is being developed that could be almost as simple as an at home pregnancy test.

Residents of Los Angeles County can log on to dontthinkknow.org and sign up for an at-home test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Simply request a kit, send in the test and get a text within a week with your results. Not too shabby, huh?

New programs are being set up all over the country. To find out if the service is currently available in your city, visit iwantthekit.org.
