## Posts
- [Why should I get a STD test?](https://www.genetrace.com/std-testing-basics/): Just a urine sample or finger-prick blood sample is all that is required. We offer STD testing from a sample collected in the privacy of your own home. The sample is then shipped to our fully accredited laboratory for very accurate testing using approved and validated testing procedures. Your results are quickly available in your secure online account.
- [Do condoms protect against STDs?](https://www.genetrace.com/do-condoms-protect-against-stds/): Consistent and correct use of male latex condoms does dramatically reduce the risk of transmitting STDs. However, condoms do not eliminate the risk of STD transmission.
- [Understanding your Alzheimer’s Disease Risk (ApoE) DNA Test Results](https://www.genetrace.com/understanding-your-alzheimers-disease-risk-apoe-dna-test-results/): Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder characterized initially by memory loss and later by the loss of thinking, reasoning and behavioural abilities. There are both early-onset and late-onset forms of Alzheimer’s disease. The late-onset form occurs in 90% of Alzheimer’s disease cases and the first symptoms generally appear after 65 years of age.
- [How is the Alzheimer’s Disease APOE Gene Inherited?](https://www.genetrace.com/how-is-the-alzheimers-disease-apoe-gene-inherited/): There are two general types of Alzheimer’s disease known as Early-Onset Familial Alzheimer’s and Late-Onset Alzheimer’s. Both diseases have similar symptoms and progression, but differ in the age of onset and the genetic cause.
- [Everything you need to know about lactose intolerance](https://www.genetrace.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-lactose-intolerance/): Lactose intolerance occurs due to decreased production of the lactase enzyme. Undigested lactose builds up in the large intestine, resulting in the growth of gas-producing gut bacteria, which contribute to the symptoms of lactose intolerance, including bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain. This may be a temporary lactase reduction (e.g. after surgery or short-term illness) or a permanent reduction, due to a lifelong disease (e.g. cystic fibrosis) or due to genetic variation.
- [All about vitamins and minerals (and why they’re important)](https://www.genetrace.com/all-about-vitamins-and-minerals/): Vitamins and minerals are considered essential micronutrients. They work together to perform hundreds of roles in the body and are important for bone growth and repair, wound healing, metabolism, red blood cell production, good immunity, and healthy skin and teeth. Only tiny amounts of these nutrients are required, yet deficiencies can lead to serious health complications, such as rickets for vitamin D deficiency and an increased risk of neural tube defects in infants of folate-deficient women. 
- [The 4 different types of diabetes](https://www.genetrace.com/the-four-different-types-of-diabetes/): Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition where the body attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin. The result is that the body does not produce any insulin (or very little) and cannot control blood glucose levels. About 10% of diagnosed diabetics have type 1 diabetes, it usually occurs in childhood, and it is controlled with insulin.Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, but can usually be prevented with healthy lifestyle choices. In type 2 diabetes, either the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the cells in the body don’t recognize the insulin that is present. This results in high blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in adulthood and can often be effectively managed through weight loss, diet, and exercise.Pre-diabetes is also known as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). It occurs when blood glucose is higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Pre-diabetes can often lead to type 2 diabetes, but diet and lifestyle changes can prevent the disease progression.Gestational diabetes occurs when a pregnant woman has high levels of blood glucose, due to not enough insulin. A pregnant woman’s insulin needs are two to three times that of normal. Gestational diabetes is only temporary and usually disappears after pregnancy, but is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.

For private knowledge testing, the DNA sample can be collected by anyone, without any witnessing, fingerprinting or other legal obligations.

- [How do I read my DNA Paternity Test results?](https://www.genetrace.com/how-to-read-paternity-test-results/): The technical terminology used in the DNA Paternity Test Report comes from regulatory and legal requirements.
