saliva tests
Oral fluid screenings
Saliva tests are diagnostic tests that analyze saliva rather than blood or urine.
They detect substances like drugs, hormones, or pathogens: The clinic offers saliva tests for COVID.
Saliva tests are less invasive than blood draws and easier to administer than urine tests, making them common for roadside drug screening and at-home hormone monitoring.
