STI at home testing

STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease. It is an infection with a bacterium, virus or parasite that you can get after unprotected sex.

Have you had unprotected sex and want to make sure you haven’t contracted an STD? Then put together your own package now and take the STD self-test! It allows you to easily test yourself for an STD by taking a sample from the vagina, penis, anus or mouth. This is then analyzed for the presence of an STD-causing pathogen such as a bacterium, virus or parasite.

The various STDs can cause a wide range of symptoms. These include pain in the lower abdomen or balls, discharge from vagina or penis, complaints of general sickness and more. In many cases, however, no symptoms develop despite infection. This can have serious consequences for both long-term health and the further spread of the STD. Therefore, it is best to buy an STD test in time, that way you will protect yourself and others.

Each STD has a different incubation period – the time it takes for the STD to express itself after the infection is contracted. Therefore, it is important to test only after that specific period, to avoid a false negative result. Of course, if you suspect an STD, you can pre-order your STD test online.

At home chlamydia test

Infection with this STD results in symptoms after about 14 days. It is therefore best to test for this only 3 weeks after the risk contact, or immediately upon symptoms.

How does an STD self-test work and how do I get my results?

Each STD test kit includes clear instructions that allow you to take your own test at various locations. For example, if you choose vaginal and anal sampling in your package, you will receive instructions for both sampling. You can also check out the instructional videos on our website.

Positive? No reason to panic. Most STDs can be treated well with a course of antibiotics. If you are pregnant and have been infected with an STD, treatment is extra important! When left untreated, many STDs lead to (serious) health problems in the (unborn) baby.

You will receive a medical certificate from us, which you can use to go to your own doctor for treatment.

Gonorrhea

A gonorrhea infection expresses itself after about 14 days, making it best to test for this STD only 3 weeks after risk contact. In case of complaints, it is best to test immediately.

Trichomonas

The incubation period of this STD is 21 days, making it best to wait 4 weeks to test after risk contact. Unless you experience symptoms, then test immediately.

Mycoplasma

After 28 days, symptoms caused by a mycoplasma infection may only manifest themselves. It is therefore best to test for this STD only when there are persistent symptoms that are not due to chlamydia or gonorrhea.

Genital herpes

Within a period of 4 days, a herpes infection can manifest itself. Test yourself immediately when blisters appear.
