Why Choose This Test Kit

We recommend this comprehensive set of STI tests for anyone, male or female, who hasn’t been tested for a long time (or ever) and anybody who wants to get a full picture of their health status. It includes tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea in three areas (genital, rectal, and throat), syphilis,* HIV, and Hepatitis C. Do not perform tests if you are currently taking antibiotics or within 7 days of completing antibiotics. Just follow the instructions below, then return them to our lab in a prepaid envelope. *Please note about syphilis: This syphilis test cannot differentiate between a new syphilis infection and a syphilis infection in the past that was treated. If you have had syphilis in the past you will need to take a different type of test to detect any new infection.

Collect a Blood Sample

A quick finger prick collects enough blood to test for syphilis and HIV.

Open the Blood Spot Collection Kit and read the instructions included in the box before you begin. On the front of the blood collection card, write your name, date of birth (DOB), and today’s date (format: MM/DD/YYYY).

2. Use The Lancet

Wash your hands and clean your middle or ring finger with the enclosed antiseptic pad. Shake your hand to get the blood flowing to your finger, then use the lancet on the side of your finger (not the fingertip).

3. Fill The Blood Collection Card

Follow the steps carefully to ensure you get enough blood flow to completely fill each of the five circles on the blood collection card. Make sure the back of the card is completely saturated through for each circle. Use two fingers to squeeze out the blood on to the blood collection card. Do not touch the card directly with your finger!
