Description

The myLAB Box At-Home Herpes Test Kit provides a convenient and private way for individuals to screen for genital herpes (HSV-2) from the comfort of their own homes. This comprehensive test offers several benefits compared to getting tested for herpes at a doctor’s office or clinic.

Benefits of Using an At-Home Herpes Test Kit:

1. Cost-Effective: The myLAB Box at-home herpes test kit is priced at $89, covering both the cost of the test kit and the lab work. This can be more affordable compared to the potential costs of testing at a doctor’s office, especially considering insurance-related expenses.
2. Convenience: Collecting the sample and shipping it for testing can be done in a few minutes at home, offering greater convenience than scheduling a doctor’s appointment, traveling to a clinic, and waiting for the appointment.
3. Privacy: At-home testing ensures privacy and confidentiality. Test results obtained through myLAB Box are not shared with the Medical Information Bureau database, which means they won’t impact your insurance premiums.
4. Speedy Results: Test results are typically delivered within 2 to 5 days, offering quicker results compared to waiting over a week for results from a doctor’s office.

Who Should Use the Herpes Test Kit?

• Individuals who are sexually active and want to screen for STDs regularly.
• Those who suspect exposure to herpes or have had unprotected sex.
• People who specifically want to test for genital herpes (HSV-2).

How the Test Works:

1. Order: Purchase a home testing kit online. The kit is discreetly packaged and shipped for free.
2. Collect: Use the provided instructions to collect the necessary sample using materials included in the kit.
3. Send: Use the prepaid envelope to mail the sample for testing (free shipping is included).
4. Results: Receive lab-certified results online within 2 to 5 days.
5. Consultation: If you test positive, you can schedule a free phone consultation with a physician to discuss your results.

Timing for Testing: Herpes may not be immediately detectable after exposure. The incubation period for genital herpes can range from 2 to 12 days, and the first outbreak usually occurs within 4 days following exposure. It’s recommended not to take an STD test within the first 2 to 12 days after exposure. If you test negative within this period, retesting after two weeks is advised to confirm the results.

In summary, the myLAB Box At-Home Herpes Test Kit offers a convenient, cost-effective, and private way to screen for genital herpes (HSV-2). By providing easy-to-follow instructions and accurate results, myLAB Box aims to empower individuals to take control of their sexual health from the comfort of their own homes.
