STI Testing for Teens
Great News! Our FREE at home STI test kits are now available for people ages 14 years and older! They test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. You can pick the test kits up in person or get them delivered discreetly to your location.
Did you know that in California people ages 12 years and older can receive confidential sexual health services? “Confidential” means that you do not need parents, guardians, or partner’s permission and your medical history stays between you and your doctor.
One way to receive confidential sexual health services at no cost is by using Family Planning Access Care and Treatment (Family P.A.C.T.). Family P.A.C.T. is a free California issued insurance that covers the cost of certain sexual health services like condoms, birth control, and STI testing to name a few. To get Family P.A.C.T. you must meet some criteria.
To find out if you meet the California requirements, take the test below or call your closest Family P.A.C.T. serving clinic.
