Inside the Home Access Program: Confidential STI Testing Where You Are

Nobody should have to choose between their privacy and their health. But for too many people, that’s exactly what traditional STI testing requires. Taking time off work. Sitting in a waiting room. Worrying about who might see you there.

Five Health’s Home Access Program removes those barriers entirely.

How It Works

You request a testing kit through our website. We ship it to you in discreet packaging. You collect your sample at home, on your schedule, and send it back using the prepaid mailer. Results come to you directly.

If you test positive for anything, we don’t leave you hanging. Our team connects you with licensed providers who can prescribe treatment, often without an in-person visit. The entire process stays confidential from start to finish.

Why This Matters in Our Communities

Stigma keeps people from getting tested. Research consistently shows that communities with higher rates of undiagnosed STIs also have fewer accessible testing locations and more cultural barriers to seeking care.

Home testing sidesteps the stigma entirely. You don’t have to tell anyone. You don’t have to go anywhere. You just have to open a box.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Nationwide, nearly half of new STI cases occur in people aged 15 to 24. In Florida, HIV and syphilis rates remain among the highest in the country. Early detection changes outcomes dramatically, but only if people actually get tested.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your low-barrier entry point. Visit our Programs page to get started.
