Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Hard to say: At home STD testing and direct to consumer lab testing is a growing field but still in early stage. We can not comment on specific outside companies and I have not had any personal experience with this company. If there is any doubt consider having your doctor run these basic tests through a reputable lab.
