Infidelity DNA Test

Suspecting a partner of infidelity can be a deeply painful experience. DNA infidelity testing offers a scientifically-based solution to help you uncover the truth. By testing fabric samples from underwear, clothing, or sheets that you provide, our tests can accurately confirm or deny the presence of male or female DNA. We offer two types of infidelity DNA tests, and our experts are here to help you determine which one is right for your needs. Every consultation is free, private, and completely confidential. Please note that infidelity testing is intended for informational purposes only and is not an accredited test, as it does not maintain the legal chain of custody for the submitted samples.

Please note that due to state regulations, testing is not available in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont.
