🇺🇸US: Make My Test Count.
Your test result matters.
At-home tests are the future of diagnosing disease. Reporting your result — whether negative or positive — helps your nation learn how to use those test results effectively.

Copy of text from site about page:
Before the pandemic, medical tests were nearly always done at health care facilities, by trained staff members. These staffers had to report test results for diseases like COVID-19 to public health officials — it was part of their jobs.
Today, most COVID tests are done by people in their own homes. As at-home tests became more and more popular, America needed a way for people to be able to report their results.

That's what the NIH RADx® MARS program has made. The MARS team built a system that puts at-home test results into a standard format used by health care professionals. That information then flows into secure databases that researchers and public health teams already know how to use. MakeMyTestCount.org is the front end of that system, allowing us to safely and securely report our at-home results, including as much personal information as we feel comfortable sharing.
