At Home Herpes Test Discreet STD Testing

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.
