Free home STI tests expanded to young people in central and southern Denmark

Young residents aged 15 to 29 in central and southern Denmark can now order free home STI tests. Sex & Samfund expanded the service for chlamydia and gonorrhea testing. The Capital Region already offers this free service.

The home test kits match those used by general practitioners. Samples are analyzed at a clinical microbiology laboratory. Results arrive digitally.

Positive cases can reach out to Sex & Samfund or their doctor for treatment. The service also includes anonymous partner notification.

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in Denmark. Statens Serum Institut registered 29,950 cases last year. People aged 15 to 29 made up 82 percent of those cases. Denmark also recorded 5,135 gonorrhea cases last year. (Source: cphpost.dk)
