What's in the test?

Infection

C trachomatis PCR

Learn more

Chlamydia which is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the UK, passed on through unprotected sex and can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. Chlamydia doesn't usually cause any symptoms but if left untreated, the bacteria can spread around the body and lead to long-term health problems. This test looks for small amounts of the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydia trachomatis to help identify a current, active infection. This is a sensitive test that can identify even very small amounts of bacterial DNA.

N gonorrhoeae NAAT

Learn more

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, passed on through unprotected sex. This test looks for small amounts of the genetic material (DNA) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to help identify a current, active infection. This is a sensitive test that can identify even very small amounts of bacterial DNA.

How to prepare for your test

Test limitations
This test won’t reliably pick up cases of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the very early stages of infection (within 14 days of infection). You should test 14 days after your last sexual encounter to be sure you don't have an infection.

    FAQs

    What can I learn from this test?

    With our accurate Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Urine Test, you can check for both chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections. This test should be taken at least 14 days after suspected exposure for the most accurate results

    What are chlamydia and gonorrhoea?

    Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are bacterial infections that can be spread through direct sexual contact. 

    Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK and is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It often doesn’t cause any symptoms but can spread to the womb or fallopian tubes and affect fertility if left untreated. 

    Gonorrhoea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoea. Gonorrhoea can cause discoloured or foul-smelling discharge from the vagina or penis, or a burning sensation when urinating. Up to half of women and one in ten men don’t develop symptoms. 

    How accurate is our Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Urine Test?
    Provided you take your samples correctly and at the right time after exposure, our Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Urine Test is very accurate. It will detect over 95% of cases of gonorrhoea and chlamydia.

    How soon after sex should I take my test?

    Some infections take some time before they can be detected by a blood or urine test. This is known as an incubation period.

    Generally, it’s best to wait two weeks after your last sexual encounter for an accurate chlamydia and gonorrhoea result.

    What happens if I get a positive result?

    If any of your results are positive, our doctors will phone you to discuss the appropriate next steps. We’ll also advise you to contact any recent sexual partners.

    We do not provide treatment for STIs. Instead, we will signpost you to the appropriate services for treatment.

    How can I reduce my risk of getting an STI?

    If you’re sexually active, practising safe sex is the best way to prevent an STI.

    Tips for safer sex:

    -Wear a condom for vaginal, anal, and oral sex

    -Reduce your number of sexual partners

    -Get vaccinated against certain infections (for example, human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis A and B)

    -Avoid having sex while under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs

    -Get tested regularly
