NEW RESOURCE – STI HOME TESTING KITS THROUGH CDPHE & BINX HEALTH
We are excited to announce CDPHE’s partnership with binx health to provide free STI home testing kits to Coloradans. Clients may choose from one of four available STI home testing boxes. Clients may also choose from a menu of additional testing options to add to a box at no-cost. Clients may choose to go through a STI risk assessment in order to receive a suggested binx box or they may choose to skip the STI risk assessment and choose their own binx box. A few additional items for providers to know about the new binx boxes include:
· The syphilis testing platform is an EIA test. Clients that report a history of syphilis will be directed through the website to a local Quest laboratory for a blood draw to obtain a RPR titer.
· HIV testing is a confirmatory test. There is no need for further HIV testing on clients with a positive HIV test result through binx.
· A binx clinician will make three attempts to notify clients of their positive results. After three attempts, all test results will be posted to the client’s binx portal. Clients are not notified directly with negative test results. All negative results are accessed by the client in the client portal.
· A binx clinician will refer all clients with positive HIV, syphilis and Hepatitis C test results directly to CDPHE. For positive CT or GC screening results, a prescription will be written. Clients with insurance may select to send the prescription to a pharmacy or provider of their choice. If a client is uninsured, all prescriptions will be sent to Vivent for free STI treatment.
There is a limited supply of binx boxes available through the end of 2020. Your agency may want to prioritize this resource for asymptomatic clients and those in need of multi-site testing. Please visit CDPHE’s STI home testing kit website at binx health for more information and to share this new resource with your clients: https://cdphe.mybinxhealth.com/
