On the 4th October 2022, the HSE SHCPP launched the free national home STI testing service. The service is now available in all 26 counties in Ireland.
Anyone from the age of 17 can now order a free home STI test kit on the online platform by visiting www.sexualwellbeing.ie.
All those with reactive results from the home tests are referred to participating HSE STI services for free management and treatment.
For more information about the service and how to order a test, please visit www.sexualwellbeing.ie.
Posters and business cards will be available shortly to download or order on healthpromotion.ie.
