How do I choose the right test for my requirements?

<p data-start="738" data-end="851">When the person receives the kit, they will be guided to register it using the Test-ID found on the code card inside the box. It is important that the person taking the test registers it under their own name.</p>

Below are some of the most common questions our customers have asked us! If you have a question that isn’t answered in our FAQs then please contact us.

<p><span>Frequently Asked Questions</span></p>

<p>Simply follow the instructions included with your test kit&mdash;whether it&rsquo;s for blood, saliva, urine, or stool&mdash;collect your sample, and send it back to us for analysis.<br /><br />Instructions can also be found online on this link: <a href="https://instructions.gettested.io/">https://instructions.gettested.io/</a></p>

How do I use the home test kits?

<p>Your test results will be available online within 5-15 working days after we receive your sample, securely accessible through your personal login on our website.</p>

When will I receive my results?

<p>Yes, purchasing multiple tests together qualifies you for discounts, providing a cost-effective way to perform comprehensive health assessments.</p>

Are there discounts for multiple tests?

<p>Our tests are performed by accredited laboratories that adhere to EN ISO 15189 and ISO 13485 standards, guaranteeing reliable and high-quality results.</p>

How reliable are the test results?

<p>Rapid tests provide instant results (similar to a COVID test), while lab tests are collected at home and then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Rapid tests often give a yes/no result, whereas lab tests typically provide exact numerical values. Many tests, such as Diabetes HbA1c, PSA, or Iron Deficiency, are available in both rapid and lab formats.</p>

What is the difference between rapid and lab tests?

<p>Consult with a healthcare provider for a detailed interpretation of your results and personalized advice. Additionally, we offer guidance and support to help you understand your results and plan your next steps toward better health.</p>

What steps should I take after getting my results?

<p>Registering your test ID guarantees the security and accuracy of your results by securely linking your sample to your personal account for confidential and precise reporting.</p>

Why is test ID registration important?
