The Summer of Love and At Home STD Kits

It’s summertime, and you know what that means: it’s time to talk about at home STD kits! Yep, you read that right. Picking up an at home STD kit might not seem like a summer priority… but it should be!

Summer is the perfect time to check your status. After all, this is time for beach parties, pool parties and wild rooftop parties. If you’re going to be hooking up, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Once you try at home STD kits, you’ll wonder why you’ve waited this long.

How Do At Home STD Kits Work?

Testing from the privacy of home is easy and convenient. Here’s how it works:

Order: Choose the at home STD test kit that best fits your lifestyle. In just a few clicks, you’ll have a test package on the way. Even better, it includes free shipping! The test will arrive at your door in discreet packaging.

Test: Testing is quick! Truth be told, it only takes about five minutes to test yourself. Thanks to the portable nature of the test, you are free to use it at any time and from any place. Now you can spend more time poolside with your friends or partner and less time sitting in waiting rooms.

Return the Sample: Place your sample back in the included return envelope and mail it back. This return shipping is also free of charge.

Get Your Results: This part is also simple. Your lab-certified results will be available online in just a few days. Simply log into the private online portal.

Test for Multiple Infections At Once

At the basic level, you can test for each infection using an individual at home STD test. Tests are available for the most common STDs, including syphilis, genital herpes (HSV-2), HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea, Hep C and more.

If you’re looking for maximum convenience, why not screen for multiple infections at once? myLAB Box has designed special combination kits that allow you to test for all of the most common infections from the comfort of your home by using a single sample set.

• Safe Box: this 5-panel test kit screens for these top risks: HIV (I & II), Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Trichomoniasis
• Uber Box: this 8-panel test kit screens for HSV-2, but also HIV (I & II), Hepatitis C, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomoniasis.
• Love Box: this 8-panel test kit screens for the same infections that are included with the Uber Box, but includes a second test so that couples can test together.
• Total Box: this comprehensive 14-panel test screens for HIV (I & II), Hepatitis C, HSV-2, Syphilis, Chlamydia (genital, throat, + rectal), Gonorrhea (genital, throat, + rectal), Trichomoniasis and Mycoplasma genitalium. Women who are 30 years of age and older can add the option to test for HPV as well.

Summertime and Women’s Health

The requisite sunscreen isn’t your only step for safety this summer. For you beach bums out there, staying poolside in a wet bathing suit can cause some summertime concerns as well. The same can be said for wearing tight clothing that make you sweat. In fact, these things can make it more likely for women to get yeast infections. Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to help avoid a yeast infection this summer. In addition, myLAB Box offers a women’s health test kit that allows you to test for common causes of abnormal vaginal discharge. The 5-panel test kit, called the V-Box, screens for bacterial vaginosis, yeast/candida, trichomoniasis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

This summer, order an at home STD kit from myLAB Box to beat the heat and fully take control of your health.
