Health Matters: Nova Scotia rolls out take-home STI tests
Description
August 13, 2024
Nova Scotia is rolling out take-home kits to test for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in hopes of reducing barriers to vital sexual health care. Doctors say many STIs don't present symptoms, so the best line of attack is to make it easier for people to get tested. Katherine Ward has this story and more in Health Matters for Aug. 13, 2024.
