(Newswire.net — March 20, 2013) Hamburg, GE. — From a Sexual Health Test for Chlamydia & Gonorrhea to a Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) Test, people who want to take charge of their own health can order tests online 24/7 without a doctor’s order. There are over 300 tests available and they start at only $25 each. JustGetTested has a simple three-step process for getting tests done. Those steps are order and payment first, have blood drawn at a local lab at no extra charge second, and third is viewing the test results.
Since 2006, Personalabs has been offering customers the ordering capability for online blood tests through their websites www.Personalabs.com and www.justgettested.com.
They formed a tactical association with LabCorp and its 1,700 labs located conveniently nationwide. Edgar Wilson and his friend, Dr. Edward Salko founded Personalabs in Florida for the purpose of providing online blood tests to consumers who want confidentiality and more control over their health and well-being.Dr. Salko is a board-certified physician and is the medical review officer and medical director of both Personalabs and JustGetTested. The Personalabs’ philosophy is that the more patients are involved in their personal healthcare, the better the relationship with their healthcare provider.
Early detection of the presence of Chlamydia & Gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases following a period of being sexually active requires a comprehensive Sexual Health Test and this measure, which can prevent future health problems as well as exposure to others, is available at personalabs.com. A Recent Exposure STD Profile includes a series of tests that can detect STD’s and infections that may be present following high risk sexual encounters.
This new way of handling these very sensitive tests, including an HIV Test by PCR, is expected torevolutionizethe way people get tested by making it easier, less expensive and moreconfidential to be tested regularly without needing a doctor’s orders. Surveys have proven that more people would get tested, especially when it involves a Sexual Health Test, if they could order the tests themselves online rather than making an expensive and embarrassing trip to the doctor every time they have had unprotected sex.
Clearly, seeing a professional following a positive test result is important and PersonalLabs does not purport to being a replacement for medical treatment, however online ordering of tests does add a level of privacy and convenience to getting tested that would otherwise not be available to the average person.
Both the personalabs.com and the justgettested.com sites are easy to navigate and offer easy ordering forms. And, since they are privately funded, there are no bothersome advertising pop-ups that you encounter on most websites today. Just the facts and a seriously simplified approach to online blood testing for a number of conditions, including a comprehensive Sexual Health Test, are what you’ll find on these two websites.
