Tweet about DNA testing for Infidelity purposes
Infidelity Testing has been trending lately in many media sources. This particular type of testing is used when a person in a relationship wants to determine if their partner is being unfaithful. Commonly used by people who have gotten to a breaking point in their relationship, infidelity DNA testing has become an affordable option for those seeking the peace of mind that they need to move on from the doubts they’ve been experiencing.
One of the reasons why infidelity testing has become more relevant has been the affordability. When infidelity testing started being provided as a service, it was accessible only to the wealthy. As time has passed, it has become a convenient and affordable option for those in need of answers.
Infidelity testing consists of three services: semen screen, DNA extraction profile and comparison to a reference. The semen screen is the basic and initial service used to prove infidelity, where the client provides a personal item (article of clothing, fabric, tissue, etc.) containing the potential secretions in question. The lab can determine if there is semen or female DNA present or not. In the case that there are secretions available that are viable for DNA extraction, the client can request a DNA extraction profile of those substances. Once the DNA profile has been extracted, if the client chooses to, they can request a comparison to a reference, by providing a DNA sample of themselves or the individual in question.
The fundamental part about Infidelity testing is using a reliable DNA testing company that can provide confidential and concise results.

In an effort to make DNA testing convenient to the people of Puerto Rico, Boston Paternity has provided the option of mobile collections. This option has always been available to our clients in the United States, and now we’ve decided to provide it for our clients in Puerto Rico.
You may be asking yourself, what exactly is a mobile collection? Well, if you choose to do a legal DNA test, the normal procedure is that the person who needs to be collected will be scheduled to go to one of the nearest clinics we have available. In some specific cases, for example: if the person has health issues, or difficulty with transportation, the mobile collection option comes in handy. For instance, if a mother is requesting a DNA test for her newborn child and she is still in the hospital, a mobile collector would be sent directly to the hospital and will take the sample of the child. Another example would be if an elderly person needs to be collected, but has health issues and can’t be transported to one of our facilities, we can collect their sample in the commodity of their home or wherever they are located.
Our main collection facilities in Puerto Rico are located in: Aguadilla, Carolina, Juana Diaz, Mayaguez, Ponce and San Juan. Since we do understand the fact that some of our locations may be further from you, having a mobile collector come to you instead, is a great alternative.
Boston Paternity also offers the opportunity to communicate your situation to bilingual case managers who are familiar with Puerto Rico and are available to assist you. If you are in need of a DNA test, it is recommended to contact a DNA testing company that you can trust in to give you the information you need to facilitate such a personal matter in the most convenient way.

A lot of people find themselves in the situation of needing to prove a relationship with a sibling, child, or grandchild. Most of these people are aware that there are DNA tests available to prove maternity and paternity, but not of other relationships. Relationship DNA tests are tests used to prove the links of kinship between siblings, uncles, and grandparents. These tests are very useful, especially when the biological parents aren’t available for a paternity or maternity DNA test.
There are three different kinds of relationship DNA tests. These are: siblingship, avuncular and grandparentage. Below, I will be describing the differences between these three and what they entail.
- Siblingship: As you can tell by its name, this is the test used to determine the relationship between one sibling and another. The siblingship test can be done to determine full siblingship (siblings who share the same mother and father) or a half-siblingship (siblings who share one biological parent –mother or father). The test is done by collecting a sample from each sibling. Half-siblingship tests are always more conclusive when the mother of one or both siblings is tested.
- Avuncular: This is the test used to determine the relationship between an uncle/aunt and a nephew/niece. In many occasions, this test has been used when the biological parent is deceased or unavailable and the family needs to determine a kinship.
- Grandparentage: Also described in its name, this is the test to determine the relationship between a grandparent and their grandchild. Just like the other two, this test is used mainly when the biological parents aren’t available.
There are many benefits to having a relationship test done. There have been cases in which the mother of a child believes that their partner may have had another child with another woman. In these cases the potential father hasn’t wanted to take a paternity test, and the mother of his potential child and claiming that the child is his. In this particular situation, a siblingship test is a great alternative to verify paternity and prove a half-siblingship.
The relationship DNA test can be very beneficial and important in the case that one of the biological parents is deceased. We get many calls where the biological parent is deceased, and there is an uncertainty of the relationship of the child with the family. In this case, the child can be tested with a sibling, an uncle/aunt or a grandparent.
Since every case is different and extremely personal, there are various options that can be applicable to you. If you need assistance, and need to be informed of the process and what the most convenient option for you is, I suggest you contact a DNA testing company that you can trust in and is informed to give you the best alternatives out there.

It’s incredible to believe that the latest celebrity DNA testing scandal involves Justin Bieber. Bieber, who is 17-years-old, is being accused by 20-year-old Mariah Yeater, of being the father of her child. Yeater has stated that she became pregnant after a sexual encounter in a bathroom with Justin Bieber after one of his concerts in Los Angeles. She is also trying to seek child-support for her now 4-month-old son.
Due to these allegations, Bieber will undergo a DNA test to prove he is not the father. Once he has the proof, he will pursue a legal suit against Yeater. The reasoning behind the legal suit is to make an example out of Yeater, and anybody else who is planning to make false claims that will affect the career of the young superstar.
A lot of us don’t have enough money to make legal suits against anybody who tries to defame us. But, in the case of being accused of being the father of a child or not, having a DNA test, is an easy and accurate solution. The legal paternity test is a great option if you need to prove to the court or to the accuser that you are or are not the father. It is a notarized document that can be used in court for legal purposes, for example: custody cases, child support cases and birth certificates. Also, it’s done by an unbiased third party, which avoids the tampering of the samples and results of your DNA test.
If you are in a similar situation, a DNA test is the best solution to your problem. Remember to always consult with a trusted DNA testing company, so that you can be fully informed of all the options available to you.
