Home-based STI testing

  1. Imagine it's possible to test yourself at home for sexually transmitted infections (STIs; chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas) for free via a urine sample or vaginal swab. If you needed testing, would you use this free home testing?
  2. If it costs the same, would you prefer being tested for STIs at home or in-person? Why?
  3. How would you like to receive your home STI test kit if you needed one (mailed, pick up at clinic/school/doctor's office/pharmacy, some other way)? Why?
  4. What, if anything, would make you uncomfortable using home STI testing?
  5. Do you feel confident that you could correctly collect a urine sample at home if you were given instructions? Why or why not?
  6. If you have a vagina, do you feel confident that you could correctly collect a vaginal swab at home if you were given instructions? Why or why not?
