Allegheny County, PA Sexually Transmitted Disease Test Pilot

In Progress

County residents aged 18 to 24 request free tests for chlamydia or gonorrhea through the Color Health website. At-home test results are shared between Color Health and the county's health department for targeted outreach. Pilot participants who test positive receive guidance from the county on treatment and follow-up steps. Allegheny County will evaluate the pilot after 500 tests with the goal of expanding the age range and tested STDs.
