"At home STD testing options offer a more private and convenient way to get tested," says Tracey Powell, Chairman of getSTDtested.com. "Low awareness of STD infection was a key driving factor behind launching our at-home testing suite. We hope more people take charge of their sexual health with this new, more private option."The demand for confidential, at home STD testing is already evident. A 2010 NIH-funded study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology reported that over 75% of women surveyed prefer at home STD testing options.
Additionally, the study’s authors said: "Home-based STD testing had a second advantage. Women who chose to be screened at home were nearly twice as likely to complete screening as women who intended to screen at a clinic."Currently, getSTDtested.com has kits available to test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and HIV in both men and women. After receiving an at home testing kit – only requiring a simple urine, blood, or swab sample – the kit is mailed to the same labs used by doctors and hospitals nationwide for analysis. All testing procedures are considered painless and non-invasive. In fact, according to the Obstetrics & Gynecology study, the majority of women surveyed thought self-obtained vaginal swabs were acceptable, resulting in improved screening rates.
Private STD treatment is also available for anyone testing positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis. With a simple antibiotic, these STDs are cured within 7-10 days.
