Earlier this year we talked about the new STI testing for Mgen that PASS was launching. Well, I now have some updates on how the system will work.

Mycoplasma genitalium, or Mgen, is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. It was first discovered in London in 1980 by two men who had urethritis, or chronic urethral irritation, and tested negative for gonorrhea. Mgen is an atypical bacteria, meaning that the structure of the cell varies so not all antibiotics can effectively treat it. While interest in Mgen has started to grow in recent years, it is not very well researched and there are still many things the medical community is still learning.

For now, the program is only available in Nevada and Florida but may be expanded in the future. Here are the qualifications.

Participant qualifiers include ages 18+, a verified adult creator, and living or working in select states (NV, FL). Please note that on-site services are only available at TBD Health’s Care Center in Las Vegas, but at-home test kits can be shipped to any of the above states.

You can get further information by going to passcertified.org/mgen-faq and you can follow PASS (the industry testing center) on Twitter at @PASScertified.
