As I remember it’s just a urine test and blood test for a guy though depending on what the doctor says (depedning what kinds of sexual activities you get up to) they can suggest you do the swab test too.
Remember though if you are uncomfortable with doing any of the tests you don’t have to (ie you could opt for just doing the Blood)
You have the right to ask for a doctor of sex of your choosing (though you may have to wait for another day)
I the swabs are done by the doctor ,since they know where to swab and how to do it.
Also they’ve done it to thousands of others they’l probably forget about you by the end of the day.
