About our service
Free home testing is available in every county across Ireland. Anyone who is aged 17 or over can order a free STI test to their home or to any other valid postal address in Ireland. There are a set number of kits available each day. If there are no more kits available when you try and order, please try again the next morning.
This service is integrated with HSE public STI services. If necessary, the SH:24 team will contact you and direct you to a public STI service for free assessment and treatment.
