At-Home STD Testing

Testing for STDs at home is safe, convenient, and private. Performed regularly, it can help you stay healthy and avoid unknowingly transmitting STDs.

You have many options for at-home STD testing. The best at-home STD tests are FDA approved and evaluated for safety and accuracy with fast result turnaround times and support from health care professionals.

At-home STD testing kits should include instructions for collection and test registration, along with materials such as containers and swabs to collect and send your sample to the lab. Most at-home STD tests offer results in about five days through a secure online patient portal.

Greenwood’s STD numbers are included with Johnson County, which saw an increase in incidents of the most prevalent STD, chlamydia, but didn’t see increases in gonorrhea or syphilis. Unlike some counties in the state, Johnson County saw decreased numbers of gonorrhea cases in 2018 and diagnoses of all stages of syphilis remained low.

Despite the state numbers increasing for the past five years, Johnson County saw a dip in chlamydia cases between 2016 and 2017, with 522 diagnoses dropping to 472. However, the number spiked again in 2018 with 529 cases, accounting for a rate of 338.6 per 100,000 residents. Reported cases remained higher among women than men, with 374 female compared to 155 male diagnoses. Young adults aged 20-24 remained the group with the highest number of chlamydia cases, despite a decline from 209 occurrences in 2017 to 196 in 2018. Adolescents aged 15-19 had the second-highest incidence of chlamydia, and this group saw a dramatic increase from 98 in 2017 to 167 in 2018.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain one of the most critical public health challenges facing the United States, with approximately 26 million new STD infections occurring every year. Nearly half of these new infections affect young people ages 15 to 24.

Community-based organizations are a vital first line of defense in the fight against STDs and HIV/AIDS in particular. They generate awareness and foster social change while providing access to testing and treatment.
