Call-On-Doc, one of America’s highest-rated telemedicine providers, continues to expand access to convenient, affordable healthcare by offering online medical consultations and at-home test kits delivered directly to patients’ homes.
Founded before telehealth became widely adopted, Call-On-Doc has long focused on making quality medical care more accessible—especially for patients who face barriers to in-person visits. By combining secure digital consultations with home-based testing options, Call-On-Doc allows patients to manage more of their healthcare safely and comfortably from home.
At-home test kits are the latest step in Call-On-Doc’s mission to simplify healthcare. Studies show that a significant portion of patients are unable to visit traditional labs due to time constraints, transportation challenges, or work and family responsibilities. At-home testing helps close that gap.
Call-On-Doc currently offers 17 at-home lab tests, with additional options continually being added. Available tests include screening and monitoring for:
Diabetes
Cholesterol
Thyroid function
Kidney health
Liver health
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
And more
Test kits are typically priced between $35 and $50 and arrive in a prepaid return package. After following the included instructions, patients mail their specimen back to the lab. Results are usually available within 3–5 days and can be viewed securely through the patient’s online account.
Patients also receive guidance on how to understand their results and what next steps—if any—may be appropriate.
By making at-home testing easy and affordable, Call-On-Doc helps patients take control of their health without unnecessary delays or in-person visits. All test results are reviewed by board-certified physicians experienced in telemedicine, ensuring continuity of care and medical oversight.
To date, Call-On-Doc has supported millions of patient encounters and earned over 100,000 five-star reviews. The platform enables evaluation and treatment for 70+ conditions across a wide range of specialties, including:
Women’s health

When Should Women Get Tested After a New Partner?
If you've had a new sexual partner, getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is one of the most important things you can do to protect your sexual and reproductive health.
The best time to test depends on the infection being screened for. Many STIs have a "window period," meaning they may not appear on testing immediately after exposure. Testing too early can sometimes produce false-negative results.
Starting a new relationship can be exciting.
Whether it is a long-term relationship, casual dating, or a new sexual partnership, many women find themselves asking important questions about sexual health.
One of the most common questions healthcare providers hear is:
"When should I get tested?"
The answer depends on the type of exposure, whether protection was used, if symptoms develop, and which infections are being tested.
Understanding testing timelines can help women obtain more accurate results and avoid unnecessary anxiety.

Yeast Infections After Swimming
Many women notice symptoms of a yeast infection after spending time swimming during the summer. While swimming itself does not directly cause a yeast infection, prolonged moisture, wet swimsuits, heat, sweating, and changes in the vaginal environment can create conditions that allow yeast to grow more easily.
Yeast infections are common and treatable, but symptoms can sometimes resemble other vaginal conditions, making proper evaluation important.
Swimming is one of the most popular summer activities.
Whether you are spending time at the beach, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a family vacation, swimming can be a great way to stay active and cool off during hot weather.
Unfortunately, many women notice vaginal symptoms shortly after these activities.
A common question healthcare providers hear is:
"Did swimming cause my yeast infection?"
The answer is not exactly.
Swimming itself does not cause a yeast infection, but some of the conditions associated with swimming can increase the likelihood of developing one.

Why BV Flares Up During Summer
Many women notice that bacterial vaginosis (BV) seems to occur more often during the summer months. Heat, sweating, prolonged moisture, swimming, tighter clothing, travel, and changes in routine can all affect the vaginal environment and contribute to BV flare-ups.
BV is not considered a sexually transmitted infection, but sexual activity can influence the vaginal microbiome and increase the likelihood of developing symptoms.
Summer often brings vacations, swimming pools, beach trips, outdoor activities, and increased travel.
Unfortunately, it can also bring an increase in vaginal health concerns.
One of the most common conditions women experience during the warmer months is bacterial vaginosis, often called BV.
Many women are surprised when symptoms seem to appear suddenly during summer, even when they have not changed anything significant in their daily routine.
The reality is that several seasonal factors can affect the vaginal environment and make BV more likely to occur.
