About

A home testing kit service lets you check certain health, lifestyle, or environmental things from home, without going to a clinic or lab. The idea is convenience + privacy.

Here’s the basic flow:

1. You order a kit (online or from a pharmacy).
2. The kit arrives with instructions and tools (like a swab, finger-prick lancet, urine cup, or saliva tube).
3. You collect the sample yourself at home.
4. Either:
   • You get instant results at home (like BV or Yeast tests), or
   • You mail the sample to a lab, and results are sent to you online or via an app.
5. Some services also include doctor review or follow-up advice.
