Yes, Rite Aid, the ubiquitous American drug store (3rd largest in the US) sells kits for paternity testing. For just $29 you can buy a genetic test kit. If you actually want to have the test done you will pay an additional $119 to the testing company, Identigene. This type of genetic testing has been available for many years now over the internet or by contacting the testing company directly. The fact that the test is available through Rite Aid is only significant because it allows the web naive to purchase the test. In the past such people would have to go to a lab setting to provide the sample, which probably made some uncomfortable and embarrassed. After the man swabs his and the child-in-question’s cheek he send the samples in and in about a week will have confidence that he is or is not the child’s father. So far more women have bought the test than men, but obviously the men are the ones taking the test. Interestingly, Rite Aid did a pilot study and found that there was a huge demand for the test, and that is why they have now introduced it nationwide. Well almost nationwide; New York has a law against selling paternity tests without a court order. Since the test is not legally binding I don’t see the problem, but I guess New Yorkers can get them from a neighboring state if they are so inclined.
