We generate your test results in our medical laboratory within 24 hours of receiving your sample because we believe women deserve answers that impact their health right away, not in 3-5 weeks. The vaginal test in our MyPathAdvantage kit is the same test we provide gynecologists to diagnose infections and other conditions. We are passionate about women’s health and our commitment shows in the way we serve our clinicians and patients.
