This test checks for the presence of chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat. Both of these sexually transmitted infections can be passed on during oral sex.
The swab test is easy to use and reliable. If you have recently had unprotected oral sex with someone who has either STD or whose sexual health status is unclear, the oral swab can give you peace of mind. You should get tested to prevent passing oral chlamydia or oral gonorrhea to future partners. Timely treatment is also essential in order to prevent complications.
To carry out the home test follow these steps:
- Place an order and get your kit delivered to your door (delivery is free)
- Collect your sample by following the instructions in the test kit
- Send your samples to our UK-based, accredited partner laboratory (postage is free)
- Once your results are available (in 2 to 3 days), our doctors will review your results
- One of our doctors will contact you, via a secure and confidential message in your patient account, to let you know your results and give you advice and support on what to do next
The time to test for both chlamydia and gonorrhea is 14 days after unprotected sex. Testing before this time could lead to an incorrect result.
In some cases, the doctor may need to ask for more information. They may contact you by phone, so make sure your telephone number is up to date in your online account.
