About TBD Health

As younger women, we’d had a lot of not-so-great experiences with our gynos.

And so, many years and a few careers later, two decade-long friends teamed up with our third co-founder and set out to reimagine the entire healthcare experience, starting with at-home STD screening that would reduce all the stigma, anxiety, and inaccessibility that usually comes with it. Basically, an STD test that was so much better in every way, that you’d have zero excuses not to check yourself out. We feel that, especially during this time when the rights of so many people are being attacked, it is crucial for us to build a sex-positive healthcare company that makes it easy to prioritize your sexual health. We hope TBD will become a routine part of loving and taking care of yourself.

Our clinical experts

Adrienne Ton (she/her)

APRN-CNP
Adrienne is a Certified Nurse Practitioner and Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, hoping to create more positive experiences for those who’ve traditionally had bad (even traumatizing) experiences with their sexual health in the medical settings. She describes herself as a stereotypical Pacific Northwest Person which just means “an endless cycle of hiking and going to the farmer’s market”.

Sarah McElroy (she/her)

APRN-CNP, PNCB
Sarah is a Certified Nurse Practitioner. Through her work (and life in general), she hopes to eliminate all the shame surrounding sexual health so that more people will be proactive about theirs. Hidden talents include: latte art and keeping houseplants alive.

Lauren Haines (she/her)

MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
Lauren is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and received her Post-Master's Certificate in Nursing Education. Like her colleagues, she believes sexual health and overall health should be one in the same and free of shame and judgement. She can also “do the worm.”

• Sexual autonomy for all.

We stand for reproductive choice and sexual freedom because we know that you—and only you—can make the best decisions for your body.

• Legit, reliable, at-home STD testing for peace of mind.

Our labs are leaders in direct-to-consumer testing. In fact, they’re the same labs that physicians, hospitals, and universities use (all CLIA and CAP-approved). The sensitivity and specificity of each lab test (aka the reliability of the results) can be found here.

• We’re here to create the safest space possible to discuss your STD results.

Our team is here to talk you through everything you could want to know—before, during, and even after you get your results. And we take your privacy very seriously.

And the reviews are in...

I wish this service had existed years ago - I'd have gotten tested way sooner and more frequently!

It’s not only easy to use, it also allows me to take control of my own sexual health and reflect on what sexual self-care means to me.

Took me 10 minutes from start to finish, in the comfort of my own home. You’ll wonder why you would ever go back to the old process.

Sexy human, know thyself.
