Are you considering an at home herpes test?
There are many benefits to using a herpes test kit at home rather than testing for herpes at a doctor’s office. First, the myLAB Box at-home herpes test kit is only $89. This covers the cost of the herpes test kit in addition to the lab work. If you take a herpes test at a doctor’s office, you may end up paying hundreds of dollars to get your results. The exact cost will vary depending on your insurance, your physician, and the type of test.
Using an at-home herpes test kit is also far more convenient than getting tested at a doctor’s office. It only takes a few minutes to collect your sample and ship it off for testing, so you can take the at-home test whenever you have a minute or two to spare. But if you get tested in a doctor’s office, you may need to block off a few hours to make the trip, wait to be seen by a doctor, and complete the physical exam.
If you use insurance to cover the cost of herpes testing at a doctor’s office, your results may be shared on the Medical Information Bureau database, which is accessible to every insurance company. This means insurance companies may use your results to increase your insurance premiums. But myLAB Box does not share information with this bureau, so your results will remain private if you test for herpes at home. No one has to know but you.
You can also get faster results by taking an at-home herpes test kit instead of getting tested at a doctor’s office or clinic. If you use a myLAB Box herpes test kit, you will receive your results within 2 to 5 days. But if you are tested in a doctor’s office, it could take over a week to get your results.
These are some of the many reasons why so many people choose to get tested at home rather than in a doctor’s office.
If you are sexually active, it’s important to get tested for STDs, including genital herpes, on a regular basis to protect your sexual health. Besides these regular screenings, it’s in your best interest to get tested if you believe you have been exposed to herpes or if you have had unprotected sex.
myLAB Box’s Genital Herpes Testing Kit specifically screens for genital herpes HSV-2. This test kit is a popular option for those who think or know that they have been in contact with this infection.
Testing for herpes has never been more convenient. You won’t need to schedule an appointment with your doctor or visit a lab to test for herpes. The entire test can be completed from the comfort of your own home!
Timing is everything when it comes to taking an at-home herpes test. This is because STDs are not immediately detectable in your system, so if you test too soon after exposure, your results may not be accurate.
Most people begin to experience their first outbreak within 4 days following the initial exposure, but the incubation period for genital herpes ranges from 2 to 12 days. This means herpes may not be detectable for up to 12 days after you are exposed to it. As a result, you should not take an STD test within the first 2 to 12 days following the initial exposure. If you test negative within the first 2 to 12 days, it’s best to retest after two weeks has passed to confirm your results.
Nothing is more important than your health, and when it comes to your wellbeing, knowledge is power. That’s why it’s in your best interest to test for HSV-2 and other STIs using at-home herpes test kit. The results of this test will give you the information you need to stay in control of your health!
