Home STD Tests - Get Your Self Tested!
Home STD tests could provide the solution to slowing down the rapid growth of sexually transmitted diseases. If we take Chlamydia for example there has been a sharp rise of the number of cases in both the UK and America during recent years. In the UK reported cases are up over 40% during the last few years and in America reported cases are up around the same percentage. Cases of Chlamydia have increased every year since records began way back in 1984. What is worrying is that expert's state many of those at risk are not being tested so the actual figures are very much higher.
Chlamydia is a tricky disease as in many cases the infected person will not have any symptoms at all. The statistics often show an unequal gender distribution, with more females infected than males. This is mainly because women are more likely to be screened during pregnancy and at other times of their lives ,whereas most men are never screened for STDs.
Even though we have great awareness of STDs, many do not bother to consult their doctor due to the stigma that some think is attached to having a sexually transmitted disease with men being the worst culprits.
To combat the 'stigma effect', STD testing kits are now available online. A good STD testing kit will require the user to send a urine sample by post to a lab. A few days later test results will be either send to the user or are available to be viewed privately online. This is much more appealing to those taking the tests as they do not have to meet a doctor face to face unless of course the test is positive.
Anybody who has unprotected intercourse should seriously consider either consulting their doctor or taking advantage of a home STD test. The simple fact is that if a STD is left untreated it will seriously damage your health.
