Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Combination Test

Is this test right for me?

This test is better value than being tested for either of Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea individually. It is our most popular test and is usually used by people who simply want to exclude the possibility that they have either of the two most common sexually transmitted infections. If you have any symptoms of an infections (pain, redness, burning sensation when you pass urine or discharge) then we recommend a full STI screen so that we can correctly identify the root cause.

Fast Test Option

We have introduced a super-fast test that uses a new type of analyser. The testing method is more expensive but results are back within 4 hours, as opposed to 24 hours on our standard test. To view these new test options, please go to the fast STI tests page.

Questions

• Is this test accurate?

  The Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea combination test that we provide is laboratory-based and is the same test that you would get if you attended a sexual health clinic in person. The test is conducted by TDL Pathology – one of the UK's leading pathology labs – so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands!

• What if I test positive?

  We are prepared to treat patients who test positive for Chlamydia using an appropriate antibiotic – this is sent to you by overnight courier after your test results are known. If you test positive for Gonorrhoea, you will need to attend a clinic for an intramuscular antibiotic injection to be administered.

• How long does it take?

  We will send the kit out to you as soon as you place your order. If the order is received before 3.00pm Monday to Friday then it will be sent that day and should arrive the next morning. As soon as we receive your sample back at the lab it will then take around 24 hours for your results to be known. Your medication (should it be required) will be sent for next day delivery.

• How long should I wait to be tested?

  It is unlikely that any infection will show up in a test less than 14 days from the point of infection. You can get tested at any point but if you are being tested after a perceived risky event and you do not wait 2 weeks and the result is negative, we will recommend a retest using a new sample.
