Vaginal Home-Testing Kits Available In Lebanon

Omgyno has launched its first project in Lebanon and is making sexual and reproductive health testing accessible by offering at-home testing kits. In a bid to fill the gaps in Lebanon’s public healthcare system, Omgyno is acting as an educational platform that is raising awareness and making sexual and menstrual healthcare more accessible.


Offering educational support, self-care services, and professional help, their services aim to be “an act of resistance to all the forces alienating us from our bodies”, and Omgyno’s selling point is their home-testing kits for vaginitis and other STIs.


The process goes as follows:
– Set up a personal account by visiting their website
– Order your testing kit by selecting “Home Test”
– Select the type of test you want (HPV and Vaginal Smear Culture tests are available in Lebanon)
– Enter the coupon code “swabmyself” to get the test for free!
– Fill in the delivery details to receive your kit


Once you receive your kit and complete the self-sampling:
– Sample will be picked up anonymously and will be sent to an ISO-certified (International Organization for Standardization) lab for analysis
– Results will be sent via email or will appear on your personal account on the website within a few working days

These initiatives are key to eliminating the stigma surround sexual and reproductive health. Those who would prefer to self-test rather than go to a clinic can order their kit from Omgyno, but those who don’t mind going to a testing clinic can check out these sources.
