1. Is a cheek swab painful?

No. It is a gentle rub inside the cheek and is safe for newborns.

2. Does the mother have to participate?

Not always, though including her strengthens the analysis.

3. Can I test without the other person knowing?

No. Every adult donor must consent. We do not support covert testing.
