Online std testing nhs

[kingmg]

Has anyone tried the std kits that are free to order on NHS online?

How quick do you get you results?

About a week. Easy to do, with a sample of blood taken from the side of your finger.

I really struggled to get enough blood to put in the tube, wasnt only me as a client of mine got the same kit and has a needle phobia so asked me to do his, alas same issue not enough blood for the tube

After nearly passing out giving it 3 tries, I can strongly recommend putting your hand in hot water for 5-10 minutes first. The problem I had then was stopping the stuff coming out :-)

Warm your finger in hot water, don't use the side, use the tip as it's much easier to "milk"
It was as a faff the first time but much easier since.
