If you live in certain parts of Scotland* you can order free home STD test kits for #HIV, #gonorrhea and #chlamydia. The HIV test is a wee finger prick and a couple of drops of blood and the others are swabs, but it all comes with instructions direct to your home.
Happy pricking (or swabbing 😉)!

*Some places only have f2f appointments but if you're able you can do the test taking yourself
