Where can I find ?
After oral sex, a throat swab (pharyngeal swab) is the most critical test, as it specifically detects infections in the throat that urine and blood tests often miss.
Doctors , what do you think about the above text?
Also can you suggest how can I undergo an oral STI test since most of them take blood/urine as the sample. Pls guide urgently 🙏🙏
