I was just browsing the opening hours of my local clinic and noticed that they now offer a test at home kit. It's completely free and is posted to your house. You complete the necessary tests and post it back and they text your results within 7 days.
Anyone tried it? |

"Our health borough only offer them to under 25s. Think because they don't use the testing facilities for whatever reason, so they encourage at home testing. "
I am in Rochford and I did notice when I ordered it that it excluded Southend and I did wonder why. |

My question would be, what is the extent of what they test for? Aren't they best for those people that like bareback

why? if people were barebacking surely they would be better at a clinic where the scope was wider to include HIV etc..obviously you cant do a blood test on yourself! they are predominantly aimed at under 25's because of the prevalance of chlamydia. Its pretty easy to treat so the whole thing can be done very discreetly,which appeals to younger people.. |

I'd be very worried about only meeting people if they thought testing was only if you've had unprotected sex
The home kids test for gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia and HIV |

Yes the home kit does/can be for hiv too, it was optional for mine but I chose to. I was stood for a fair amount of time, preparing myself to push on the thing to prick my finger though! I don't mind doctors/nurses doing it, but doing that myself was a nightmare.
Yes I've done the home test, sent it back and was able to track it online too, then received a text with the results. Was simple, effective and quicker than going to a clinic and waiting for the results. |

I think it depends on the area you live in, I had to put my postcode in to see whether my area was covered. |

yes, i think i'd hate the finger prick! im lucky, my nearest clinic is in a big hospital , no queues and never waited more than 3 days for results..but i know areas not as urban arent as easily served.. |
