With the rise of sexually transmitted diseases in recent years, there has been an increased need for at-home STI tests that are quick, easy, and private. The new at-home syphilis test meets all these criteria.
Here’s everything you need to know about it. So let’s delve in.
How it Works
The at-home syphilis test is a simple oral swab test that can be done in the privacy of your own home. It is quick (results are available in as little as 10 minutes), easy (no special training is required), and private (all you need is a phone or computer to access your results).
How to Get Started
To get started, simply order the test online and wait for it to arrive in the mail. Once you receive the test kit, follow the instructions to take the oral swab. Then, wait 10 minutes for the results. It’s that easy!
Results will be available in one of three ways: online (through a secure website), by phone, or by text. You will also be given a unique code that you can use to access your results.
What do the Results Mean?
A positive result means that you have syphilis and should consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible. A negative result means that you do not have syphilis. If you have any questions about your results, you can contact the customer service team for help.
The new at-home syphilis test kit includes everything you need to administer the test, including a lancet for finger pricking, a buffer solution, and a test strip. Once you have assembled everything, simply wash your hands and disinfect the lancet. Then, follow the instructions included in the kit to collect your sample.
Next, add three drops of blood to the buffer solution provided in the kit. Then, dip the test strip into the solution for five seconds. Wait two minutes for the results to develop, then compare the color on the strip to the chart included in the kit to determine if you have syphilis. It’s that simple!
The at-home syphilis test is a quick, easy, and private way to find out if you have this STI. Simply order the test online, take the oral swab at home, and wait 10 minutes for your results.
Results are available online, by phone, or by text. If you have any questions about your results, customer service is available to help.
