Pilot study of social media promotion of home-based self-testing for syphilis
We promoted home-based syphilis self-testing via social media to persons with factors linked to increased syphilis risk in Los Angeles County and San Bernardino. Users found the First to Know Syphilis Test easy and were likely to recommend it, indicating strong interest in self-testing and potential to enhance syphilis prevention.
