LetsGetChecked Simple 2: An Editorial Review

What to know about U.S. mail-in sample collection for chlamydia and gonorrhoea before ordering.

Updated

Where testing happens

The U.S. Simple 2 kit collects urine or a vaginal swab at home, following the labeled instructions, and the sample is sent to a laboratory. It covers chlamydia and gonorrhoea. The home part is specimen collection, so turnaround includes transit and laboratory processing.

When to look for an alternative

This kit does not cover HIV, syphilis or other infections. Oral or anal exposure may call for a throat or rectal sample that the Simple 2 kit does not take. If you have symptoms or need time-sensitive evaluation, ask a clinic about assessment and appropriate sampling.

Before ordering

Check your eligibility, the accepted return shipping schedule and what the service offers after a positive, indeterminate or unusable sample. This is an editorial comparison of documented features, without a product rating.
