Which Chlamydia At Home Test Should I Use?

There are many chlamydia at home test options available through myLAB Box. Which one is appropriate for you will depend on your individual needs. There are test kits for people who participate in oral and anal sex, tests for women’s health and options for people who want to test for more than one infection at a time.

This is all great, since chlamydia is the second common new sexually transmitted infection in the United States.  Not only that, but an untreated infection can cause major health complications. Among other complications, this includes infertility, life-threatening pregnancy, and long-term pelvic/abdominal pain.

Your Chlamydia At Home Test Options

Let’s review your chlamydia at home test options available to all myLAB Box customers.  Choose the one that’s right for you. Then, you’ll be able to take full control over your health!

Gonorrhea and Chlamydia At Home Test

When to use it: Great news! This test is the same cost as our other single infection tests. However, when you test for chlamydia with myLAB Box, you also test for gonorrhea.  That’s a great bonus!  Gonorrhea, it turns out, is the fourth most common new sexually transmitted infection in the United States.  The two infections are tested together because they are often found together or are mistaken for one another. When considering all bases, we have you covered.

What it tests for: gonorrhea and chlamydia in the genital region

Three-Site Extragenital Test

When to use it: If you participate in oral or anal sex, this test is perfect for you. The fact is, a standard test at the clinic or medical facility will not screen for infections in the mouth or rectum unless you specifically say that you engage in oral or anal sex.  Often, this results in infections that remain undiagnosed. Truth is, this three-site test will be sure to diagnose any chlamydia or gonorrhea infection that may be present.
