Availability of the confirmatory testing varies a lot by country, so the answer may simply be that it is not on offer where you are. Worth asking rather than assuming either way.

What to watch for is pain or swelling in one testicle, which is a go in now symptom rather than a wait one. It is also the reason nobody should sit at home with testicular pain hoping it settles.

The only thing to check is that he actually took it, and that you both waited before having sex again. Those two are what determine whether you are back here in a month.

Nobody in your house is at risk from sharing a bathroom. That was my first panic too and it wasted an evening of cleaning.

Check what the kit actually covers before buying. Some are a single infection, some are a panel, and the marketing rarely makes it obvious which. Also check it is an accredited laboratory rather than a white labelled unknown.
