    About man to man STI test: MSM test for chlamydia & gonorrhoea

    What the MSM test is for

    This kit tests men who have sex with men for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the penis, throat and rectum. The kit is for you if you do NOT have any symptoms, and if you are a man who has sex with men.

    If you are unsure whether you need this test, you can take our free STI assessment.

    Please note, if you are a man who has sex with only women, our Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Test For Men may be more suitable. If you have symptoms, we recommend attending your local sexual health clinic.

    Required samples

    To test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, you will need to provide a urine sample and swabs from your throat and rectum.

    You need to use the test kit within 30 days of receiving it and the pack needs to reach our laboratory within 4 days of you providing your urine sample.

    The test kit contains all the information and equipment you will need to safely collect these samples at home. You can also view the instructions here.

    When to take the MSM 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 Patient Record.

    Understanding 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.

    Test accuracy

    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 you nearest sexual health clinic, or visit your GP.

    Important information about the MSM 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.
