  Wisconsin residents 18 and older can test themselves privately for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.


The state of Wisconsin has launched a new initiative to combat the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by offering free at-home test kits. This program, supported by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, allows residents to order kits online for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The initiative aims to increase testing rates by providing a convenient, private, and stigma-free method for individuals to check their status. The kits come with instructions, materials for sample collection, and a prepaid return envelope. Once the samples are sent back, individuals receive their results confidentially. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce the transmission rates of these infections by making testing more accessible, especially in light of the ongoing challenges posed by the need for social distancing and reduced in-person clinic visits due to the global health situation.
