Over-the-counter STD test kits are becoming increasingly popular for individuals to test themselves for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the privacy of their own homes.
These tests may seem like a convenient and accessible option, but you have to consider whether they come recommended or not.
The accuracy of over-the-counter STD test kits can vary, and false positive or false negative results can lead to unnecessary anxiety or a false sense of security.
You should also remember that these tests may not provide the same counseling and support as testing in a medical facility.
I know you are quick to jump on an over-the-counter STD test kit, but be wary of some of the brands in the market. Some brands are out there to scam you of your hard-earned money. Do your research and go for those that have delivered over time.
