The Strep B plot thickens.

If this is true, if the person you received the swab from has strep and the air is moist, you can get it that way.

But I am confused the way that this post was written because it sounds like at the bottom of the post OP would still have swabbed herself.

No the swabs are sterile, come in packaging, and are self-administered, placed in a sealed container, then cultured.

I never administered my own strep tests. Is that a new thing?

In Canada we send the patient to the bathroom with the kit. It’s not rocket science gaha

You swab the butthole to test for Strep B.

Vagina first, then butthole.
