To assess the acceptability of sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing using self-collected vaginal swabs (SCVS) among college women. First-year female students (N = 483). Participants were offered free testing for three STIs using SCVS in April 2010 and later completed a survey regarding their testing decision and experiences. Sixty-four percent (n = 310) accepted testing; of these, 98% found it easy or very easy to understand the SCVS instructions, and 93% found it easy or very easy to collect the specimen. Among the 36% who did not participate in testing, most had scheduling conflicts or did not perceive a risk for STIs; only 26% felt uncomfortable about the SCVS procedure. Among all women, SCVS was preferred over other STI testing methods. STI testing using SCVS was acceptable to the majority of college women and could increase the uptake of testing among sexually active college women.
