The FDA has authorized use of the Visby Medical Women's Sexual Health Test (Visby), an at-home test available without a prescription, for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis infections in women with and without symptoms. It is the first test to become available in the US for these sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can be performed entirely at home. Other at-home tests are available in the US for diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniaisis, but they require mailing a urine or blood sample to a laboratory. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis are the 3 most common STIs in the US.
