Important information about our chlamydia & gonorrhoea test
This test kit is not suitable for you if you have any symptoms, or if you have tested positive for chlamydia or gonorrhoea in the last 6 weeks.
If you have symptoms, you should NOT use this service. You require a face-to-face assessment at your local sexual health clinic or GP.
If you have recently tested positive for an STI, you should contact the service that did this test for further advice.
What the test is for
These tests check for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the following ways:
- Male – In the penis
- MSM – In the penis, throat and rectum
- Female – In the vagina
Only test using this kit if you do NOT have any symptoms.
If you are unsure whether you need this test, you can take our free STI assessment.
How accurate is the chlamydia and gonorrhoea test?
Please note, no test is 100% accurate but it should pick up these STIs if it is done at the correct time. If you are in any doubt, we advise that you go to your nearest sexual health clinic or visit your GP.
When to take a chlamydia and gonorrhoea test
We recommend doing the test 2 weeks after the unprotected sex. Tests done too early may not be accurate.
However, if you think you might have chlamydia or gonorrhoea, you can test immediately and repeat the test two weeks after having sex (you will need to purchase 2 test kits for this).
Accessing results
Test results are normally ready within 3 working days of your sample arriving at our partner laboratory. You will receive a text and an email when your results are ready.
If you don’t receive your results within seven days of posting your sample, contact us via your account.
Understanding your results
If you test positive for chlamydia, we will advise you on the best treatment option and provide free treatment for the infection, if you are clinically suitable.
If you test positive for gonorrhoea, we will advise you on where to seek treatment.

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea STI test kits FAQs
-
How long does a chlamydia test take?

Do I have chlamydia?

- Pain when peeing
- White, watery or cloudy discharge from the penis

- Swollen or painful testicles
For women, the main symptoms of chlamydia include:
- Pain in your lower abdomen
- Burning feeling when urinating

-
Do I have gonorrhoea?
For men, the main symptoms of gonorrhoea include:

- Stinging or pain when peeing
- Pain or discomfort in the testicles or anus
- Discharge from the anus
The main symptoms of chlamydia for women include:

Can chlamydia be dormant and test negative?
Yes, you can still test negative even if you have chlamydia or gonorrhoea if you don’t wait 14 days before testing – an STI test is unlikely to provide an accurate result before then. If you have tested in that time and come back negative, a doctor will probably ask you to take a second test.
-
Can you do a chlamydia test on your period?
Yes, you can still take a chlamydia test while you’re on your period. Find out more information in our guide to STI tests during your menstrual cycle.
