What Does This Test Detect?
The test detects genetic material associated with:
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Both infections can happen without any obvious symptoms, so it’s important to get tested even if you feel fine.
What Are Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea?
Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a common bacterial STI that can affect the genital area and often causes no symptoms.
When symptoms do occur, they can include:
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Unusual vaginal or penile discharge
- Pelvic or testicular pain
- Bleeding between periods or after sex
If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory disease and fertility issues.
Gonorrhoea
Gonorrhoea is another bacterial STI that can also have no symptoms.
Possible symptoms include:
- Unusual discharge
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Pelvic pain
- Testicular pain or swelling
- Bleeding between periods
If gonorrhoea isn’t treated, it can cause complications, so it’s important to get prompt treatment.
Why Test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea?
Since these infections often cause few or no symptoms, testing is an important part of looking after your sexual health.
You may wish to consider testing if you:
- Have had sex without a condom with a new or casual partner
- Have had a new sexual partner
- Have symptoms that could be associated with an STI
- Have been told that a sexual partner has an STI
- Are concerned about a recent sexual encounter
- Want routine STI screening
Getting tested can also help you avoid passing an infection to a partner without knowing it.

Understanding Your Results
Negative
No genetic material from chlamydia or gonorrhoea was found in your sample.
A negative result doesn’t completely rule out infection if you tested too soon after exposure, didn’t collect the sample correctly, or if the infection is somewhere else in your body that wasn’t tested.
Positive
Chlamydia and/or gonorrhoea was found in your sample.
You should see a sexual health clinic, GP, or another qualified healthcare professional for assessment and treatment. Don’t have sex until you’ve received medical advice and completed any recommended treatment.
Inconclusive / Invalid
Sometimes, a sample doesn’t give a valid result. If that happens, you might need to send another sample.
Important: Timing After Exposure
If you test too soon after sexual contact, you might get a negative result even if you have an infection.
The best time to test depends on the infection, how you were exposed, and your situation. If you have symptoms, a partner has told you about an infection, or you’re worried about a recent exposure, talk to a sexual health clinic instead of relying only on a home test.
Is Urine Testing Suitable for Everyone?
Urine testing is a convenient way to check for genital chlamydia and gonorrhoea in many cases.
However, urine tests don’t check every possible site where infection can occur.
If you’ve had oral or anal sex, or have symptoms in your throat or rectum, you might need extra tests like a throat or rectal swab.
If you’re not sure which tests you need, ask a sexual health professional for advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this test suitable for men and women?
Yes, urine testing can be suitable for both men and women when checking for genital chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
Do I need to visit a clinic?
No. You can collect your sample at home and send it to the lab using the instructions in your kit.
Can I test if I don’t have symptoms?
Yes. Both chlamydia and gonorrhoea can happen without any symptoms, so it’s a good idea to get tested even if you feel fine.
What happens if my result is positive?
You should get in touch with a GP, sexual health clinic, or another qualified healthcare professional for confirmation, treatment, and advice about telling your sexual partners if needed.
Does a negative result guarantee that I don’t have an STI?
No. This test only checks for the infections and sample site included. It doesn’t test for every STI, and infections in other parts of the body might need extra tests.
Medical Disclaimer
This home test is intended for screening purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
The test detects genetic material associated with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the sample provided. A negative result does not completely exclude infection, particularly if testing is performed too soon after exposure, the sample is collected incorrectly, or infection is present at an anatomical site that has not been tested.
A positive result should be followed by appropriate medical assessment and treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.
This test does not screen for other sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes or HPV.
If you have had oral or anal exposure, additional throat or rectal testing may be required.
If you have symptoms such as severe pelvic or testicular pain, fever, significant bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly rather than relying on a home testing kit.
If you have been informed that a sexual partner has tested positive for an STI, contact a sexual health service for appropriate advice even if your home test result is negative.
