It All Started With One Bad Appointment
Testie started because our founder, Thea Rose, got tired of how complicated and shame-filled getting tested for STIs can be.
After a few negative experiences with sexual health intake forms (and one very real misdiagnosis), she realized something needed to change. Through her podcast, Seggs Talk Radio, Thea heard story after story from people who felt judged, anxious, or just plain confused about how to get tested.
Testie is fast, discreet, and designed for real life.
With Testie, you choose your panel, book your lab visit, and get results in under 48 hours.
If something comes back positive, a provider will walk you through next steps and make sure you’re taken care of.
We build our panels using the most up-to-date public health data, so you can trust that each one reflects the most common infections seen across the U.S.
