Self-testing kit from the UK

Remember my new obsession with self-swab testing, and the privacy and empowerment it gives to women to participate in their own care? Well, my great friend brought a self-testing chlamydia kit for me from her trip to the UK! What more of a travel gift could a girl ask for?!?! Love. It.This is how the package appears when one picks it up from a health center.This is what it looks like just upon opening, snug as a bug-testing kit in a rug.Package contents include information about the chlamydia testing program, information about the tester, the urine specimen container, and the mailing package for return.A quick break to admire my friend's beautiful cat, purring behind me as I purred over this awesome-ness!Opening of the chlamydia information packet.Survey for data collection. Clearly there is some need for broader categories throughout, including gender versus anatomy/sex.And the postage-paid mailing package!What a brilliant system! And now, with the wonders of lab testing, I wonder if there are plans to add gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, or rule-out STIs by diagnosing BV and yeast, like we can with the NuSwab Plus?
