Description:Welcome to this Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Test-to-Treat Toolkit for Community Pharmacies.
This toolkit was developed as part of a pilot program funded by the National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO) with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of STD Prevention. The objective of the pilot program was to expand access to testing and treatment for gonorrhea and chlamydia by partnering with the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) and Hilltop Pharmacy, a local independent pharmacy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Self-collected testing kits and laboratory services were provided, so patients can order their STI test online via the health department’s website and ship it directly to their home or select to pick up at Hilltop Pharmacy for additional privacy. If the patient receives a positive test result, they will be contacted by staff at ACHD’s STI clinic and offer treatment at either the clinic or at Hilltop Pharmacy. Hilltop Pharmacy can then provide treatment to patients via standing orders signed by ACHD’s physician. The pilot project began on November 1st, 2022.
This product was created with NACCHO funding from the CDC under Award #6 NU38OT000306-04-01.
