A member asked:
I bought a home test kit for chlamydia, the instruction mentioned to take cervical sampling. it mentioned to go 1-1.5cm into the cervix. do i have to swab into the cervix or is it enough with swabbing the cervix only?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely this is home specimen collection, to be sent to a lab, right? If so, it really doesn't matter whether you successfully get the swab into the cervical opening; testing a vaginal swab is just as accurate as cervical.
