What type of paternity testing is best for you?
DNA can be collected from either a blood test or a cheeck swab. Both are very accurate, although I would say that the blood test may be a bit more accurate than the cheek swab.
I want to have a DNA test done for my son and I and I want it to be done with a blood test not a swab. ?
You can have a blood test done, but believe it or not the technology is gearing more towards the swab and the swab is as accurate. One of the reasons is the fact that sometimes people might have a blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant which can jeorpadize the test result.

How are DNA tests done to the child Will it hurt the child are all three tested?
A "buccal swab" is used for DNA tests. This means that a cotton swab, similar to a Q-tip, is rubbed against the inside of the cheek, to collect cells for evaluation. While it is just as accurate as a blood test, this procedure is painless and non-invasive, making it a much more desirable test, particularly in the case of small children. Only the child and the male in question has to be tested.
What can affect a cheek swab paternity test?
Anything that can destroy cells. The cheek swab collects cells, which are then used to extract DNA for testing. To my knowledge, there is nothing short of cellular destruction that can impede the collecting of a sample for a DNA test, since the test is actually conducted on the DNA extracted from INSIDE the cell, not just the swab.

Do you put swab into sterile for DNA test?
The swab used in cheek swab DNA testing is already sterile and ready for testing when you purchase it. They are designed for single use so only use it on the person being tested. If multiple people are being tested, use the multiple swabs included in the home DNA kit. Lastly, don't drop the swab. Contamination from dropping the swab could definitely affect the accuracy of the test results.
Can you swab a toothbrush for a DNA test?
No. The test is done on the cheek cells because they have DNA in their nucleus. The swab can be taken from any part of the mouth or even a "punch" from the skin.

Are there any drugs that can be taken orally to alter a swab DNA test?
There are no drugs that I am aware of that can change your DNA. And if your the same person that asked how accurate DNA tests are, they are very accurate. There is a very small chance that one can be wrong, but even a high paid lawyer couldn't get you out of trouble if your DNA is used. If you did something wrong (get someone nocked up maybe?) and DNA is involved, you might as well admit to it.
