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

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 men, our MSM Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Test may be more suitable. If you have symptoms, we recommend attending your local sexual health clinic.

To test for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, you will need to provide a urine sample.

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 this sample at home. You can also view the instructions here. 

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).

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.

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.

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.

The main symptoms of chlamydia in men include:

• Pain when peeing
• White, watery or cloudy discharge from the penis
• Itchy or burning sensation in urethra
• Swollen or painful testicles 

For men the main symptoms of gonorrhoea include:

• White, yellow or green discharge from penis
• Stinging or pain when peeing
• Pain or discomfort in the testicles or anus
• Discharge from the anus

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.

Your test results will be completely confidential. We will not inform your GP or anyone else of your test results or that you have used our service unless you specifically ask us to.
