DHSP has partnered with the National Coalition and STD Directors (NCSD) and launched the Check Yourself Pilot Program in Los Angeles County. NCSD’s Check Yourself initiative is a public health partnership with LetsGetChecked, a virtual care company and commercial lab located in Monrovia, California. The home test kit tests for chlamydia (urine) gonorrhea (urine), trichomonas (urine), Syphilis T. pallidum antibody, and HIV. Test kits are mailed directly to clients who would like the test. For more information on the Check Yourself Program go to: https://www.ncsddc.org/check-yourself/ or contact Dr. Raj at srajagopalan@ph.lacounty.gov.
