Attention All Maryland Residents Outside of Baltimore City:
Due to reductions in state funding, IWTK will no longer be able to offer free at-home STI test kits to residents outside of Baltimore City after June 1, 2024.
If you currently have an IWTK test kit:
- Please return your completed kits before September 1, 2024 and we will test it.
- Kits received after August 31st, 2024 will not be tested.
- Please allow up to a week for shipping.
We highly recommend placing your order for a new kit before June 1st if you anticipate needing testing in the coming months.
Finding Alternative Testing Options:
If you reside outside of Baltimore City and need testing after August 31st, we suggest exploring different testing options. Here are some resources that can help:
- Maryland Local Health Departments: Many local health departments throughout Maryland offer free or low-cost STI testing services. You can find contact information for your local health department on the Maryland Department of Health website: https://health.maryland.gov/Pages/departments.ASPX
- Planned Parenthood health centers: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/
- Free STD Clinics: https://www.stdcheck.com/ (Please note this is a general resource, not specific to Maryland)
- Your primary care doctor
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. IWTK remains committed to providing confidential and accessible STI testing and we are hoping that this change will be temporary.
Thank you for your understanding.
