Order a free sexually transmitted infection (STI) self-testing kit via iwantthekit.org (IWTK). Kits are available to Alaskans ages 14 years and older. The IWTK STI self-testing kits offer options to test for gonorrhea or chlamydia. In female-bodied people, the kits also offer the option to test for trichomoniasis. Tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis will need to be mailed in to be tested at a lab, and you will be provided with a free return shipping label. If you test positive, a medical professional will follow up with you confidentially to provide education and linkage to care. You are also able to order rapid tests for syphilis and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which are tests you can take at home and receive results in 15-30 minutes. If you have tested positive for syphilis before, the rapid syphilis test provided by I Want The Kit is not recommended, because it will give you a positive result even if you do not have a current syphilis infection. If you take the syphilis or HIV tests and either come back positive, it is important you follow-up with your doctor quickly to discuss treatment. You can also visit your local health care provider or family-planning clinic to receive STI and HIV testing.

Consider ordering condoms to minimize risk and learning more about safer-sex practices. IWTK is part of a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine that specializes in sexually transmitted infections (STI) research. Their laboratory is licensed by the State of Maryland and certified by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Learn more about I Want The Kit on their website.
