Home STD Tests Information

Those who fear they may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease may fear going to the doctor or may have to wait to be seen. Rather than put off such a vital screening, many are turning to home STD tests. This is a test that can be performed in the comfort and convenience of one’s own home. There are various types of testing kits that are available. This can include but is not limited to those which must be sent into a lab and those that give results at home. The availability will depend on what the individual is testing for. However, even with kits that must be sent off, results are generally available within a few days. Contrary to popular belief, at home testing is affordable, reliable and boasts accuracy rates comparable with those used by many clinics.
