ABSTRACT:
A self-testing apparatus (21) and method for collecting and testing a specimen from a body cavity, and particularly the vagina. The apparatus (21) includes a collecting instrument (22, 61, 81) formed with a hollow body (27, 62, 88) and a reciprocally mounted plunger (31, 63, 82) inside the body (27, 62, 88) that is spring biased to a rectracted position inside the body. Mounted on the end of the plunger (31, 63, 82) is a material (44, 67, 84) capable of absorbing bodily fluids. The self-testing kit (21) further includes an independent testing assembly (23) which is used after the collecting assembly (22, 61, 81) collects the specimen. The collected specimen can be wiped across a treated paper (51) with the reaction compared to a color chart (52) mounted proximate the treated paper (51).
