The National Health Service is a humongous government bureaucracy in charge of our health care here in the United Kingdom. While laboratories affiliated with the NHS provide diagnostic tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV and other more common sexually transmitted diseases, it has not yet included Mycoplasma infection determination in its cocktail of tests. The reason may be the low infection rate in the population or lack of government recognition of the rising number of cases among young people. Thesticlinic.com is here to provide the filling for the gap. Our Mycoplasma Test uses urine PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to help determine the presence of the infection.
There is a chance that the government will include such tests in the future, but we strongly urge caution because of common experiences with the laboratories associated with the National Health Service. First, there is no guarantee that information will be safe. In the past few months, there were numerous leaks due to some loopholes in the system and we heard several protests about this. Second, the test results show up in days, and the patient has to call every now and then to determine whether the test is done or the results are available (ready for pick-up). Their procedure, in other words, wastes time and money. Finally, all information gathered by the National Health Service is property of the government. It can be accessible to high level government officials and doctors working for the statistical branch of the NHS. The private sector has moved away from such procedures of extracting vital information, and it has embraced methods to determine the presence/absence of causative organisms in samples without revealing identities. We believe that Mycoplasma Treatment can be done by the individual with minimum interference from the state and the private health care provider.
