People who think they have a sexual disease but are too embarrassed to pop down to the clinic can order a “sex MOT” from their smartphone.
By going online they will be sent a home testing kit and samples are then posted to a lab with results sent via text or email.
The mail-order tests for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis and HIV.
If they test positive patients are referred to their local clinic and fast tracked dodging the queue.
If HIV positive, they will receive a call from a clinician.
And the not for profit firm behind the cyber-testing scheme said it can slash the costs to the NHS by over half. But hey, that’s for people living in the United kingdom.
