Healthcare warns about pharmacies' tests for sexually transmitted diseases: "Not trustworthy"

Medical professionals in Sweden caution that at-home testing kits for STDs sold by pharmacies may not provide reliable results.

Healthcare professionals in Sweden have raised concerns about the reliability of at-home testing kits for sexually transmitted diseases that are sold by pharmacies and online stores. These tests, which can cost hundreds of kronor, may yield inaccurate results, potentially leading individuals to make serious health decisions based on faulty information. Dr. Anne González, from Stockholm's sexual health clinic, emphasized the issue of trust, stating that people often believe they can rely on pharmacies to provide accurate testing, which in turn damages the credibility of healthcare providers.
