    If you're worried about having an STD, you'd be better off seeing a doctor, or going to a clinic. Why take the chance with the reliability of a home kit for something so important? If you test negative, you're still going to worry that the kit wasn't accurate. If you test positive for anything, you're still going to have to go to a doctor for the cure, and they're not going to take the result of a home test as a diagnosis, so they'll test you properly anyway.

    A proper lab is the only set up that has the correct sterile environment with which to undertake any kind of biological testing.

    Those STI tests are a scam, and a possibly dangerous one at that. steer well clear.
