Heya
mamshies! I’m back for another review. This time, I’ll be reviewing the FujibioOne Step Gonorrhea Rapid Test Kit manufactured by hivtestkit.ph. Brace
yourselves as this is the best home diagnostic test kit, in my honest opinion. No
kidding, this is pure honesty! Alright, here we go!
To
begin with, I am a bisexual. I hate to admit that I have a long-time boyfriend,
who’s in an open relationship too. Saklap no? Well, call me names, but I still
love him, ‘coz he makes me happy. <3 Besides, people shouldn’t be judged
based on his/her gender, right?
Bago
pa tayo mapunta sa lovelife ko, let’s move on to the review na. I just opened
up that issue because I felt I acquired an STI (sexually transmitted
infection)/STD (sexually transmitted disease). How did I know? Kasi I noticed
something from my genital – a thick and cloudy discharge. I believe this is an
indicator for gonorrhea.
Hence,
before worse comes to worst, I immediately searched for a diagnostic test
online. The internet suggested me some clinics but my concern is that they will
surely get my information/details. I don’t like that. I want something that I
can do at my own privacy and convenience. Yung tipong magagawa ko mag isa sa
bahay ko.
Minutes
of searching lead me to hivtestkit.ph. This website offers numbers of
home diagnostic kits. One of them is the Fujibio Gonorrhea Rapid Test Kit. They are selling this kit for ₱875.00 each. Delivery shouldn’t be a worry
as they will tag your order as “supplement” when they ship it to your home via
lbc.
What’s
this kit all about? Fujibio Gonorrhea Rapid Test Kit is a direct binding test
for the visual detection of gonorrhea antigen , in the secretory specimen and
urine from urogenital system, as an aid in the diagnosis of gonococcal
infection. It is Based on the principle of double sandwich immunoassay for the
detection of gonorrhea antigen in the secretory specimen or urine. Monoclonal
and polyclonal antibodies are employed to identify gonorrhea specifically. Both
sensitivity and specifically of the test are higher than those of the present
methods, which often involve long hours of culturing the collected specimen.
Test results are not affected by any medication that is being taken. Results
are read visually without any instrumentation. This test is ideal for screening
specimen samples containing at least 1x 10 bacteria per ml.

Contrary
to HIV test kit, where in you need blood sample, here on Gonorrhea test kit,
you need a specimen instead. How to get that specimen? Let me give you an idea.
You
need the cotton swab to get specimen from your genitals.
For
male, swab discharge from the opening of the urinary tract. If no discharge is
present, insert the swab 2-3 cm into the urinary tract, gently move a few turns
and retrieve the swab without touching the outside surface.
For
female, swab discharge from the vaginal opening, then insert swab into vagina
for half a minute and retrieve the swab without touching the outside surface to
prevent contamination.
Next
thing to do is to put the specimen in the micro tube and add 6 drops of
specimen diluents A on the swab. Rotate the swab, and squeeze. Discard the swab
properly. After that, add 2 drops of diluents B into the micro tube and mix
well.
You
are now ready to open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. Remove the
test kit from the pouch.
Using
the pipette provided, dispense 4 drops of the specimen sample onto the sample
well of the cassette. Wait for 10-20 minutes and read the results. Do no read
results after 30 minutes (as per the manufacturer).
The
result I got was negative. However, I was not convinced because of the symptoms
I experienced. So I ordered another one from them, because each kit is for
single use only.
Remember,
this kit is not a confirmatory test for Gonorrhea. I still recommend consulting
a specialist if you got a positive result from this kit.
Thanks
for your time!!
