A member asked:
Is there any way to test yourself for chlamydia or other bacterial stds completely at home no sending swans away? so strange this isn't available

Maybe someday...: Home self testing like this probably will be available in the near future. This is more complex than you realize: medical tests at home require significant research on test performance and other factors. Biologically, these are more complex tests than, say, pregnancy testing. But talk with your doctor: you probably can arrange to drop off a urine or vaginal swab specimen. Good luck!
