Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Urine 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

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. 

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.

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.

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
