Test Kits

Home and professional test kits are becoming increasingly popular because they are convenient and economical compared with traditional laboratory testing.

The test kits can be ordered online and are shipped to the customer. Depending on the type of test being performed, a urine, hair, saliva or blood is collected in the privacy of one's own home or in the workplace, and depending on the complexity of the methodology, the test is performed and interpreted by the user or the specimen is mailed to a reference laboratory which analyzes it and interprets the test result which is then mailed to the customer unless other arrangements have been made regarding notification.    

With recent advances in technology the accuracy of the kits has improved greatly and the number of types of kits available has increased.  There are now kits for diagnosing HIV infection, other STD, hepatitis C and other diseases of which early detection is important. There also are kits for determining paternity, pregnancy, menopause and exposure to environmental toxins such as asbestos, radon gas, lead and other heavy metals.

Environment hazards in the home are oftentimes overlooked and not investigated because the health risks associated with them are not emphasized in medical training programs and because many health insurance companies do not cover routine testing for those exposures. Another health hazard which is oftentimes overlooked is contaminated drinking water but thankfully, there are water testing kits which can detect bacteria, heavy metals like lead, hazardous chemicals petroleum products, industrial chemicals and pesticides which have been found in the drinking water of certain locales.
