These Are The Best At-Home STD Tests\n\t\nDanielle Page\n\nLike most things these days, when you want to know if you’re experiencing symptoms of an illness, you take to the internet. Of course, the only problem with Googling your symptoms in the age of information is that you can get bombarded with a ton of potential answers, and it can be tough to decipher what you actually have versus all of the potential things it possibly could be. Take, for example, if you think you may have contracted an STD. Probably not a scenario where you want to play doctor and try to diagnose yourself – especially if you’re sexually active with a partner, and could potentially spread it. But if you’re trying to avoid the hassle and costs associated with a doctor, there are a few STD testing kits you can get done in the comfort of your own home that can help determine whether or not you have the disease you’re worried about. Or, if you’re not experiencing symptoms but want to make sure you aren’t carrying anything you could potentially pass along to your partner, STD testing kits can also help determine that.\nLike most things these days, when you want to know if you're experiencing symptoms of an illness, you take to the internet.

Or, if you're not experiencing symptoms but want to make sure you aren't carrying anything you could potentially pass along to your partner, STD testing kits can also help determine that.\n\nNot sure where to start? Here are a few recommendations on STD testing kits that screen for the common ones, where to find them, how to use them, how much they'll cost and more.\n\nA Doctor's Take On At-Home STD Testing Kits\nBefore you decide you're going to rely solely on an STD testing kit to check in on your sexual health, urologist Dr. David Shusterman of NY Urology makes the point that if you are already experiencing symptoms of an STD that you may have contracted — take for example, sores that look like herpes, you're going to have to pay a visit to a doctor to seek treatment anyway, even if the cause winds up being something other than an STD. Which means that testing yourself with an STD kit could end up wasting time and money that you could be using to get treated for what it is you have.\n\nBut if you're just looking for an overall check-up, Dr. Shusterman says STD testing at home can help. \"Truly, the only good reason to take a STD testing kit is if you are planning to start a new and monogamous relationship — and neither of you have any symptoms or any diseases, but the couple would still like to just test it out,\" he says. \"Then the test becomes more of a prevention and planning. Both partners take the test, and it's just to see.\"\n\nBecause most STD testing kits use urine samples to determine whether or not you have one, Dr. Shusterman says this also leads to inaccuracies. \"The test in the STD testing kit is urinary. Even though, it's a poor test, it's still better than nothing. Blood work in a doctor's office is better, and it's much more conclusive. If you have a symptom, then you should get treated,\" he says.\n\nA Few Kits To Consider\nIf you're in the situation that Dr. Shusterman mentioned earlier — with a steady partner and not experiencing symptoms, here are a few trustworthy, no hassle kits that will get you quick results with a high rate of accuracy.\n\nPrivateiDNA\n\n\nMost at-home testing kits will screen for a number of STDs, and this can end up driving up the cost. PrivateiDNA makes at-home STD testing more affordable by giving users the option to order tests that single out the STD you want to be tested for — including HIV I/II, chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, herpes (HSV-2) and hepatitis C at $79 each.\n\nIf you're looking to test for all of the above, PrivateiDNA's premium test ($250) screens for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV (1 and 2), syphilis, herpes (HSV-2) hepatitis C and trichomoniasis. The basic test ($150) screens for the most common infections: chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis.\n\nWhen testing for HIV, herpes and syphilis, a small prick of blood is required in order to test. Chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis are tested with a urine sample. Turnaround times for results vary depending on which lab you ship your sample to, but typical turnarounds range anywhere from 2-7 days. To obtain the testing kit of your choice, you'll need to place your order online, and the kit shops free to anywhere in the U.S. in discreet packaging. All tests are FDA-approved, and testing is conducted in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited and HIPAA-compliant laboratory.\n\nFind out more at Privateidna.com\n\nEverlyWell\n\n\nWhile nothing beats visiting your doctor, one new player in the space, EverlyWell, is taking big strides to offer at home STD testing that takes minimal work with a high rate of accuracy. \"All of our tests have been fully validated according to the highest laboratory standards in the United States, which is [the] CLIA and CAP (College of American Pathologists),\" says Dr. Marra Francis, Medical Director at EverlyWell. \"The validation studies include precision, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, stability, interference, cross-reactivity, feasibility and clinical studies. The test kit itself has an overall accuracy of 99% considering all tests combined. Each specific test has its own sensitivity and specificity, all of which are near or well above 95%. Your results are independently validated by a physician in your state to ensure validity and reliability.\"\n\nIf you want to test for STDs that require a blood sample such as herpes, EverlyWell's comprehensive at home sexual health kit tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis C, HIV, herpes (HSV-2), chlamydia and trichomoniasis. \"For females, a blood spot sample is taken using a finger-prick lancet, as well as a vaginal sample,\" says Dr. Francis. \"For males, a blood spot sample and urine sample will be required. Once collected, you'll simply prepare them for shipment to one of our CLIA certified lab partners, and once received by them, you'll receive your results within five business days beginning on the day the samples are received.\"\n\nHowever, these more accurate results are going to cost you — though they are covered under some insurance plans. \"Male and female comprehensive kits are both priced at $239 and are typically covered by HSA or FSA accounts,\" says Dr. Francis. However, the kit does include free shipping to wherever you are located (as long as it's within the U.S.).\n\nFind out more at Everlywell.com\n\nmyLAB\n\n\nAnother newcomer to at home STD tests, myLAB has competitive testing rates for single STDs, but their full screens will set you back considerably. A test for chlamydia and gonorrhea will cost you $79, HIV tests start at $73 and testing for trichomoniasis alone (one of the most common STDs) costs $79 as well. However, if you're looking to screen for more than the above, their 8-panel \"love box\" that tests for HIV (I & II), hepatitis C, herpes (HSV-1), syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis will set you back $499, and their 13-panel testing kit which tests for HIV, hepatitis C, Herpes (HSV-1), syphilis, chlamydia 3-site, Gonorrhea 3-site, trichomoniasis, HPV (human papillomavirus), mycoplasma, and ureaplasma) is priced at $399.\n\nTo obtain your kit, you order directly from their website to have it shipped free to your door. All tests take just five minutes to complete at home. From there, you'll mail the test in to your local lab, and have your results in 2-5 business days. The accuracy of these tests range from 98%-99.2% in specificity.\n\nFind out more at Mylabbox.com.\n$79.00 - $189.00 at Amazon.com\n\nPlushCare\n\n\nIf what's keeping you from seeing a doctor is more about the copays than it is the trip there, PlushCare eliminates the costs associated with seeing a doctor. In fact, they even coordinate with an MD to have the test ordered for you, which eliminates the hassle and gets the cost of the tests down to extremely competitive rates. The catch? You'll need to visit a lab near you in order to obtain your test and take it at the facility. However, this also saves you the guesswork of reading instructions at home and ensures you're doing it right. PlushCare offers single STD tests for syphilis, hepatitis B and C (tested together, HIV, herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2, tested together). The syphilis test is only $45 as is the test for hepatitis B and C. HIV testing will cost you $50, herpes (HSV-1 and HSV-2) for $80, and a combined chlamydia and gonorrhea test at $90. However, if there's not just one type of STD you're concerned about, you can test for all of the above at $199.\n\nOnce you've decided which tests you want to take, you input your shipping and payment information on the site. The kit will be shipped for free to your local lab of choice, where you'll take either a urinary or blood test, depending on the type of STD you're looking to screen for. Results are available in just three business days or less. Testing in a lab also eliminates potential inaccuracies associated with taking the test at home, meaning results have a higher rate of accuracy.\n\nFind out more at Plushcare.com\n\nWhile at home STD testing kits can give you an idea of where you're at in terms of your sexual health, it's important to see your doctor if you think you may have contracted an STD — especially if you are experiencing symptoms. The good news is that most STDs can be cured with medication — but the longer they're left untreated, the more at risk you are for developing complications. So it's in your best interest (and of course, your partners) to seek treatment sooner rather than later.",

      "body": "8 cyber security professionals share their essential reads\nWelcome to Threat Intel’s #WednesdayWisdom column, which aims to help improve your cybersecurity knowledge and keep you informed on important developments.\n\nThere are many sources of information for those working in, or hoping to work in, the world of cyber security. Technical blogs, online courses, podcasts, webcasts, and more provide a wealth of information on the latest happenings in the threat landscape.\nHowever, sometimes you can’t beat a good book, so in the run-up to World Book Day, which takes place on Sunday, April 23, we asked a range of Symantec experts for their essential reads for cyber security professionals (or those looking to get into the industry), as well as any other personal favorites.\n\nEric Chien\nThe recommendations of Eric Chien, distinguished engineer and technical director in Symantec Security Response, ranged from practical guides for those in the industry, to some cracking tales of cybercrime.\nUnsurprisingly, given Eric was one of the lead researchers involved in Symantec’s investigation into the infamous Stuxnet threat, even featuring in Alex Gibney’s Zero Days documentary on the subject, one of his recommendations is a book looking at the background of that digital weapon.\nEric’s recommendations\n· Cryptonomicon; Neal Stephenson: A work of fiction that jumps from the 1940s to the present day that features cryptographers and hackers, and hints at a dark future.\n· Cuckoo’s Egg; Clifford Stoll: Stoll’s memoir about his quest to capture a cyber spy.\n· Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital Weapon; Kim Zetter: Cyber security journalist Zetter tells the story behind Stuxnet.\n· Kingpin: How One Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground; Kevin Poulsen: Ex-hacker and journalist Poulsen recounts his tale of the pursuit of an infamous cybercriminal.\nPractical guides\n· The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense; Peter Szor: One of the lead researchers behind Norton AntiVirus, Szor takes readers behind the scenes of antivirus research.\n· Windows Internals, Part 1 (Developer Reference) 6th Edition; Mark E Russinovich, David A Solomon, Alex Ionescu: A guide to Windows architecture and internals.\n· Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C; Bruce Schneier: An essential introduction to cryptography.\n· The Practice of Network Security Monitoring: Understanding Incident Detection and Response; Richard Bejtlich: This book details how Network Security Monitoring can help protect networks and data.\n\nJennifer Fitzgerald\nIreland-based threat analysis engineer Jennifer is currently busy preparing for Symantec’s Cyber War Games final, which will take place in May.\nWhile Jennifer admits she tends to read technical blog posts about particular subjects, there are some practical books she continues to turn to as well.\nJennifer’s recommendations\n· Practical Malware Analysis: The Hands-On Guide to Dissecting Malicious Software; Michael Sikorski, Andrew Honig: An excellent handbook for starting out with malware analysis.\n· The Web Application Hacker’s Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws; Dafydd Stuttard; Marcus Pinto: A guide to web application penetration testing.\n· The Hacker Playbook 2: Practical Guide To Penetration Testing; Peter Kim: A step-by-step guide to the “game” of penetration hacking.\n\nMick Halpin\nPrincipal technical support engineer and avid reader Mick Halpin recommended an array of books covering a variety of different areas.\nMick’s recommendations\n· Spam Nation: The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime — from Global Epidemic to Your Front Door; Brian Krebs: Awesome investigation into where this stuff comes from and who makes their money from it.\n· Fatal System Error: The Hunt for the New Crime Lords Who Are Bringing Down the Internet; Joseph Menn: Pretty old now but a worthy read that delves into the murky world of cyber crime.\n· DarkMarket: How Hackers Became the New Mafia; Misha Glenny: Mick used one word to describe this book, which details the fight back against malicious hackers: awesome.\n· McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld; Misha Glenny: Also by Glenny, this book sees the veteran journalist travel across five continents to speak with people at every level of the criminal cyber underworld.\n· The Hacking Exposed series contains detailed advice and strategies to help defeat cyber criminals.\n· Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It; Richard A. Clarke, Robert Knake: Former presidential adviser and counter-terrorism expert Clarke details the threat the US faces from cyber crime.\n· Universal Scams & Fraud Detection; David Snow: This book focuses mainly on the many billions lost to insurance fraud but also features information on computer-related scams.\nFiction\n· The Florentine Deception; Carey Nachenberg: A work of fiction by a Symantec alumnus, this is a bit Dan Brown, and a fun adventure that exposes some dangers inherent to computers.\n· Dark Times in the City; Gene Kerrigan: A recommendation that’s unrelated to tech, this is a crime novel by Irish journalist Kerrigan.\n\nGavin O’Gorman\nA principal software engineer and analyst in Symantec Security Response, Gavin has been involved in many investigations into cyber criminals’ tactics and behaviors.\nWhile admitting that he now finds a lot of the information he needs online, he recommended some books he has turned to over the years.\nGavin’s recommendations\n· The Hacker Crackdown; Bruce Sterling: A nice summary of the hacking landscape in the 1980s and 1990s.\n· Rise of the Machines: The Lost History of Cybernetics; Thomas Rid: Pulling together the history of cybernetics, this book also has some details about the first publicized international espionage hacking.\n· Confront and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power; David E Sanger: A wide-ranging book, it contains details about Stuxnet, and Operation Olympic Games.\n· Ready Player One: A Novel; Ernest Cline: A fiction recommendation, this is a fun book for anyone with an interest in computers who grew up in the 1980s.\nPractical guides\n· Network Security Assessment: Know Your Network; Chris McNab: A guide to performing network-based penetration testing.\n· Computer Networks; Andrew Tanenbaum, David Wetherall; An introduction to networking, explaining how networks work from the inside out.\n· Gavin also recommends the Hacking Exposed series, which was also recommended above.\n\nLiam O’Murchu\nLiam, a director of development in the Symantec Security Response team, was one of the lead researchers involved in Symantec’s investigation into Stuxnet. He, together with Eric Chien, is now considered one of the authorities on this subject, and also featured in Alex Gibney’s Zero Days documentary.\nGiven how closely they have worked together, it is perhaps unsurprising that there was some overlap with Eric’s and Liam’s recommendations, Liam also recommended Cuckoo’s Egg, Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital Weapon, and Kingpin: How One Hacker Took Over the Billion-Dollar Cybercrime Underground.\nLiam’s recommendations\n· Exploding the Phone; Phil Lapsley: This book tells the story of the people who, long before the internet, discovered how to hack the telephone.\n· Ghost In The Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker; Kevin Mitnick, William Simon: Mitnick recounts his experiences as the “world’s most wanted hacker”.\n· The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-breaking; Simon Singh: A look at the history of man’s urge to uncover the secrets of codes.\n· Fallout: The True Story Of The CIA’s Secret War On Nuclear Trafficking; Catherine Collins, Douglas Frantz: This book examines the circumstances that led to nuclear weapons technology spreading throughout the world.\n· Wiring Up The Big Brother Machine… And Fighting It; Mark Klein: Whistleblower Klein recounts the impact of revealing that illegal government spying apparatus had been installed at an AT&T office by the NSA.\n· Fatal System Error: The Hunt for the New Crime Lords Who Are Bringing Down the Internet; Joseph Menn: This book was also recommended by Mick Halpin.\nPractical guides\n· Malware Analyst’s Cookbook and DVD: Tools and Techniques for Fighting Malicious Code; Michael Ligh, Steven Adair, Blake Hartstein, Matthew Richard: A computer forensics “how-to” for fighting malicious code and analyzing incidents.\n· The IDA Pro Book: The Unofficial Guide to the World’s Most Popular Disassembler; Chris Eagle: An essential read for those analyzing malware, conducting vulnerability research, or reverse engineering software.\n· Liam also recommends Practical Malware Analysis: The Hands-On Guide to Dissecting Malicious Software, which is also recommended above.\n\nAleatha Parker-Wood\nAleatha, a senior principal research engineer based in California, had some words of wisdom about what she thinks it takes to be a good cyber security professional.\n“It’s important to know how exploits happen and how the bad guys think. You also need to know what tools are at your disposal to help protect users.”\n“My bookshelf is a mix of hacking guides and crypto. You also need to understand modern operating systems and software architecture to understand how a lot of vulnerabilities occur, so it’s good to have a really solid OS book. I have the Tanenbaum OS book (Modern Operating Systems: Global Edition), like everyone else. It’s Unix-centric, but it’ll teach you about things like heaps, stacks, and context switches, which are applicable to all OSes. And [to be a good cyber security professional] you should have some experience in a low-level language like C, so you understand things like pointers and memory layout.”\nAleatha’s recommendations\n· Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit; Aleph One: It’s a little dated, but this short pamphlet gives a great intro to the one of the most basic classes of security exploit, while explaining the OS fundamentals around it. If you are wondering how malware works, start here.\n· The Shellcoder’s Handbook: Discovering and Exploiting Security Holes; Chris Anley; John Heasman; Felix Lindner; Gerardo Richarte: This is a really detailed guide to the theory and practice of finding and exploiting security holes. It doesn’t focus on hacking tools, as many other books do, instead focusing on the nitty gritty of hacking: how to smash stacks; how to exploit buffer overflows; how to return into libraries. It’s not for the amateur, it assumes you have a good knowledge of how software and operating systems work, but it’s got incredible depth. Another good one in this vein is Hacking: The Art of Exploitation (Jon Erickson).\n· The IDA Pro Book: The Unofficial Guide to the World’s Most Popular Disassembler; Chris Eagle (as recommended above): Will teach you how to reverse engineer code. It’s useful for analysts, as well as for understanding how hackers find vulnerabilities.\n· Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C; Bruce Schneier (as recommended above): It’s a good idea to rely on well-vetted crypto libraries wherever possible, know how to use them right, and what the pitfalls are. Schneier is one of the best writers on this subject. I also follow his blog, which is great for keeping up with recent exploits and developments in security.\n\nTarah Wheeler\nA senior director of engineering and “cyber security czar” at Symantec, Tarah is also a well-known speaker on the tech conference circuit, an author, and a prolific tweeter.\nShe had three recommendations to make for what she thought were the most relevant reads for those in the field of cyber security.\nTarah’s recommendations\n· Theory of Games and Economic Behavior; John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern: First published by Princeton University Press in 1944, this book was a groundbreaking text upon which modern-day game theory is based.\n· Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases; Daniel Kahneman, Paul Slovic, Amos Tversky: This book brings together a range of academic papers to study the factors that influence human decision making.\n· Threat Modeling: Designing for Security; Adam Shostack: This book details how to build better security into the design of systems, software, and services.\n\nCandid Wueest\nCandid, a principal threat researcher in Symantec Security Response, says that a lot of his information these days comes from white papers and articles, while also underlining that cyber security is a broad field with different skills required in different areas.\n“Reverse engineering or forensics might apply to one person, whereas others can use more information on web application security and python scripting.”\nCandid’s recommendations\nThree of Candid’s recommendations have already been mentioned:\n· The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense\n· Practical Malware Analysis: The Hands-On Guide to Dissecting Malicious Software\n· Hacking: The Art of Exploitation: Candid describes this as a good start for those who want to learn about buffer overflows and other exploits.\nCandid also recommends:\n· The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications; Michal Zalewski: This is a good start for those wanting to learn about web application security.",
