Are you at risk?

Certain situations raise the likelihood of exposure to an STI. If any of these sound familiar, screening can offer clarity.

Unprotected Sex

Sex without a condom or other barrier method increases the chance of exposure.

Uncertain or Non-Exclusive Partner

If you're unsure of a partner's status or history, screening can offer peace of mind.

Needle Sharing

Sharing needles or injection equipment carries a meaningful risk of bloodborne infection.

Body-Fluid Exposure

Contact with blood or other body fluids, including in a workplace setting, may warrant screening.

Not sure where to start?

Answer a few short questions about your symptoms and exposure to get personalized insight on which kit may help and when to seek in-person care.

Why people choose rapid at-home screening

For many people the barrier to getting screened isn't willingness — it's the clinic. Rapid at-home screening removes the friction that keeps people from finding out where they stand.

Privacy

No waiting room, no front-desk conversation, no result sitting in a clinic system. You screen in private and read the result yourself.

Speed

A rapid screening kit gives an on-site result in minutes, instead of booking an appointment and waiting days for a lab report.

Convenience

No time off work, no travel, no scheduling — screen when it suits you.

A first step toward peace of mind

A screening result helps you decide whether to seek confirmatory testing and care, sooner rather than later.

Rapid screening is a first-line check, not a replacement for medical care. Any positive result should be confirmed by a licensed healthcare provider.

Not all STI testing is the same

"Testing" covers several different things. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right first step — and understand what a result does and doesn't tell you.

Rapid at-home screening is the fastest, most private way to get an early indication. Lab and clinic testing remain the gold standard for a confirmed diagnosis — which is why we always recommend confirming a positive screening result with a healthcare provider.

When to screen after exposure

Sources: CDC · Medically reviewed by [Reviewer Name, Credentials] — pending.

Screening too early is the most common cause of a false-negative result. Every infection has a window period — the time after exposure before it can be reliably detected. Use these as general guidance, not exact cut-offs.

Chlamydia

Reliably detected from about 1–2 weeks after exposure.

General guidance

Gonorrhea

Reliably detected from about 1–2 weeks after exposure.

General guidance

Syphilis

Blood-based detection reliable from about 3–6 weeks; repeat a negative early result at around 3 months.

General guidance

Hepatitis B

Typically detectable within a few weeks of exposure; discuss timing with a provider.

General guidance

Herpes

Antibody detection can take 6–16 weeks; most useful when you have symptoms or a known exposure, and results should be discussed with a clinician.

General guidance

Rapid screening kits detect antigens or antibodies, and timing can vary by kit and person. If you screen inside the window period and get a negative result, retest after it passes. These windows are general guidance based on CDC recommendations — confirm the right timing for your situation with a healthcare provider.

STIs you can screen for

Sources: CDC · Medically reviewed by [Reviewer Name, Credentials] — pending.

Chlamydia

A common bacterial STI that often causes no symptoms. Untreated, it can affect fertility, which is why screening matters even without symptoms.

Gonorrhea

A bacterial STI that can affect the genitals, throat, and rectum, frequently without symptoms. Early detection helps prevent complications and onward transmission.

Syphilis

A bacterial STI that progresses in stages and is highly treatable when caught early. US rates have risen, making early screening more important than ever.

Hepatitis B

A viral infection affecting the liver that can become chronic. Many people have no symptoms, so screening helps identify infection early.

Herpes

A common viral infection (HSV) that causes outbreaks in some people and none in others. Screening is most useful for those with symptoms or a known exposure — discuss results with a clinician.

Why our kits — standards & quality

Screening quality comes from how a kit is made and validated, not marketing claims. Here is exactly how ours are held to standard.

ISO 13485 manufacturing

Every kit is produced under ISO 13485, the international quality management standard specific to medical devices.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Production follows GMP protocols for consistency, traceability, and quality control at every batch.

95–100% agreement with lab reference methods

In manufacturer validation, kits showed 95–100% agreement with laboratory reference methods (ELISA / PCR), with agreement varying by infection. Screening results are not a diagnosis — false positives and false negatives are possible, and any result should be confirmed by a healthcare provider.

Privacy & discreet shipping

We know privacy matters. Every order is designed around it.

Plain packaging

Orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging with no indication of contents.

Confidential

Your order and personal details are kept private and are not shared.

On-site results

Results appear on the kit itself in minutes — there is no sample to mail to a lab and no waiting for a report.

After your result: what to do next

Negative result

Reassuring — but if you screened inside the window period, retest after it passes. Keep up regular screening based on your risk.

Positive result

A positive screen is not a diagnosis. Contact a licensed healthcare provider to confirm with laboratory testing and discuss treatment. Most STIs are treatable and many are curable — acting early protects your health and your partners'.

Unclear or invalid result

If the control line doesn't appear or the result is hard to read, the screen is invalid. Repeat with a new kit, following the instructions carefully.

Frequently asked questions

In manufacturer validation, our kits showed 95–100% agreement with laboratory reference methods (ELISA / PCR), with the exact figure varying by infection. As with any screening method, false positives and false negatives are possible, so any result should be confirmed with a licensed healthcare provider.
