Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that can affect various parts of the body and may not always produce noticeable symptoms. Testing can provide clarity, especially after potential exposure. Early awareness allows for a timely conversation with a healthcare provider.

This test may be relevant for:

• People who have had unprotected sexual contact
• Those with a new sexual partner
• Anyone experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain during urination, or discomfort
• People who want to check for Gonorrhea specifically

This test screens for:

• Gonorrhea (PCR)

PCR technology detects the genetic material of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacterium, providing a sensitive method for identifying the infection.

The result is reported as detected or not detected. A "not detected" result may indicate that no Gonorrhea infection was found at the time of testing. A "detected" result may suggest the presence of an active infection and can be discussed with a healthcare provider for further guidance.

A swab or urine sample is collected at a certified sample point. The procedure is quick and handled discreetly by trained professionals.

This test may be considered:

• After unprotected sexual contact
• If a partner has been diagnosed with Gonorrhea
• When experiencing symptoms that may be associated with Gonorrhea
• As a focused check for this specific infection

A "not detected" result means no genetic material of Gonorrhea was found in the sample. A "detected" result may indicate an active infection. Results are best discussed with a healthcare provider who can advise on any appropriate follow-up.

Do not urinate for at least 1 hour before providing a urine sample. This helps ensure there is sufficient material for accurate testing.

Your results are made available securely through your personal account. If the result requires follow-up, a healthcare provider can help determine the next steps. All information is handled with strict confidentiality.
