This technique detects virus/bacterial’s DNA.

A: THROAT SWAB
Imagine we kiss and suck and all the oral sex we use our mouth (and tongue and throat) the infections can be localized on your tonsil glands.
So for this area we perform a swab, gently rubbing the swab (or small cotton bud) on the back of the throat, on the tonsils, and in any other area where there might be redness, inflammation or pus. Throat swab can detect 28 infections mentioned above. There are no risks or complications associated with a throat swab culture. The test may cause momentary gagging because the back of the throat is a sensitive area, but it shouldn’t be painful.
ANAL SWAB
Doesn't matter if you are a man, a girl or a transwoman, if you like it from the back or using your backdoor for some fun the infections from your partners (or toys, hands, or gloves when fisting) can localize on the surface of anal canal or rectal tissue surface. Don't be too embarrassed to discuss your anal sex and safe anal sex practices with your doctor (We've seen many holes before and you won't be the last). To collect the specimen, a small cotton swab (you wish it is bigger) is placed into the anal canal and the rectum. The swab is rotated gently, removed and put in a container to be sent to our lab. There may be pressure as the swab is inserted into the rectum. The test shouldn't cause you any pain, we are always gentle and handle with care.
VAGINAL SWAB
We're talking about woman and transwoman, vaginal canal can be a house to host STI party and a matter of fact, STIs amongst transwoman do not differ from the non-TG population unless there are other risks factors involved. To collect the specimen, a small cotton swab is placed into the vaginal canal. The swab is rotated gently, removed and put in a container to be sent to our lab.
