"Spring Into Action: Ready, Test, Go!"

Apply to access free Syphilis Health Check™ tests!

In celebration of STI Awareness Week, NCSD is partnering with Diagnostics Direct to launch "Spring into Action: Ready, Test, Go!"

Diagnostics Direct is generously donating 2,000 Syphilis Health Check™ tests to the National Coalition of STD Directors to provide syphilis testing to the areas that need it most, such as local health department STI clinics, Family Planning Clinics, and other facilities that provide sexual health services. This is an amazing opportunity to see how rapid syphilis tests might advance your work, experiment with using syphilis tests in new settings or with new clients, or enable you to try rapid syphilis tests without cost concerns.

Applications are open now!<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKluZyunYqArVQn_u2VKGS7JuWV9BN45iNSjLr1TZcGGtwgQ/viewform> Tell us how you could benefit from the tests and how we can help you meet the needs of your community.

Eligibility

  *   You do not have to be a member of NCSD to apply.
  *   Awarded sites will be asked to participate in a brief interview about their experience.
  *   All supplies are subject to availability of stock.
  *   Submission of this form does not guarantee a donation.

About the Test
Syphilis Health Check™ is the first and only CLIA-waived rapid syphilis test that detects both IgM and IgG antibodies to Treponema pallidum, delivering reliable results in just 10 minutes. This test should be performed on patients who do not have a previous history of syphilis. Learn more.<https://diagnosticsdirect2u.com/syphilis-health-check/>
