Hmmmmm. Does it come with home counselling as well?
Sometimes it is handy to have a doctor/professional in the field handy for a good old fashioned discussion.

I see it as a positive, some may get the test that would never go to the doctors.

[Crimson Dynamo]

would it sort of not be better if thius was freely available?


paying £30 to find out if you have a deadly disease :umm2:

No as if you result is good
you do not need it.


If your result is you have it
they give advice to contact your
Doctor or Clinic
and get another test.

Maybe for some, who can not afford it,
it could be free.

You have to pay for pregnancy tests, it's not an extortionate amount and the test developers will have to make some money to produce more or create more tests for other conditions.
As long as there is clear information to help and support in the event of a positive result it's better than not knowing?

I see this as a positive. It could be used for people beginning new relationships or prior to conception etc if people want to be entirely sure they and there partners are clear.
