(SACRAMENTO.CBSLOCAL) — Sacramento County’s health department will begin distributing a take-home STD test for women that won’t cost users a penny.
The city has one of the highest rates of STDs in the state, and it keeps going up every year. Now a new online program will hopefully get more people to get tested.
“We definitely need all the help we can get,” said Sacramento County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye.
