There’s nothing better than being able to relax from the comfort and privacy of home—that’s why we are excited to announce a new partnership between Wisp and TBD Health, two leading sexual health companies, for how you can now test for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from home.

STIs are at all time highs in the US—and can lead to long term, downstream consequences, especially for women. In fact, STIs are a leading cause of infertility. And that’s why we’ve teamed up with Wisp to offer convenient, easy full-scale sexual healthcare—that doesn’t require a trip to the doctor’s office or the awkwardness of waiting rooms.

So, who’s Wisp?

Similar to how TBD offers accessible sexual healthcare, Wisp also offers convenient, low-cost sexual and reproductive care on your terms. Wisp’s mission is to make it easy to get quality care for your most personal concerns. Forget awkward waiting rooms and inconvenient appointments—Wisp offers same-day treatment that you can pick up at your local pharmacy or delivery straight to your front door. Whether you're looking for pregnancy prevention, STI care, treatment for vaginal infections, or help with sexual wellness, Wisp’s got your back in all 50 states!

Why should I get tested?

We’re kicking off the partnership by offering TBD’s 3-panel Kit – which tests for some of the most common STIs: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomoniasis on Wisp’s website. These STIs are also often asymptomatic, and can often lead to fertility complications (particularly for people with vaginas) – which is why it’s important to establish a frequent testing routine.

How does it work?

You’ll order from Wisp’s website, and you’ll get sent a Kit ASAP. Shhh….don’t worry, it will also arrive in discreet packaging.

You’ll then take the test from home—by providing a urine sample - and then return it to TBD’s partner lab for processing. Results are delivered electronically, and if you test positive – you’ll get to do a telemed consult with one of TBD’s (great) clinicians who will prescribe medication if needed, then walk you through the next steps you need to care for your sexual health!

Why we love it –

_Convenience _ We’ve all been there—long appointment times, awkward conversations. It’s a big reason why we started TBD. With TBD’s at-home STI testing and Wisp’s telemed services, all you need is a simple testing kit delivered to your doorstep. Nothing could be easier.

Reliable Results Good news – at-home STI testing is reliable, and accurate, with high sensitivity and specificity. TBD Health also uses the leading direct-to-consumer testing labs that physicians, hospitals and universities use—CLIA and CAP-approved.

Peace of Mind Knowledge is power when it comes to sexual health. By being proactive about your sexual health, you not only protect yourself but also contribute to the overall well-being of your sexual partner(s). Remember, early detection and treatment can prevent the spread of infections and minimize potential complications.

We’re excited to be bringing at-home testing to Wisp and continue to offer sexual healthcare that’s accessible, empowering, and stigma-free! ⭐️
