The STD self testing market in South Africa is driven by driven by government initiatives to expand free and accessible STI testing. Under the fifth HIV, TB, and STI action plan (2023-2028), the South African government is set to introduce free home test kits for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and trichomoniasis, making testing more accessible through chronic medicine pick-up points nationwide.
Additionally, public clinics will roll out same-day STI test results, improving early detection and treatment rates. Previously, the public health system only diagnosed these STIs based on symptoms, leaving many infections undetected.
By integrating routine test into public healthcare services, reducing stigma, and improving accessibility, these initiatives are expected to significantly drive demand for STD self-test kits in South Africa.
