Home STI testing kits are now available by post to those living in Co. Leitrim.
It's part of a new partnership between the Sexual Health and Crisis Pregnancy Programme and STI testing provider, SH:24.
Home tests were made available to 17 counties in 2020 including Roscommon and the service has now been extended to include Leitrim.

The tests are free of charge and are discreetly packaged in unbranded boxes.
People from the age of 17 can order a kit through the online platform sh24.ie.
Medical consultant specialist in Sexual Health Dr. Wallace Dinsmore says the initiative has increased access to tests following a spike in infections.
