Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Home Test

Advances in technology now mean that many tests that were once only carried out by a doctor or nurse in the surgery can now be carried out at home.

Two of these tests are for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. In men and women a urine sample can be used to test for both these bacteria. For men this method of testing is over 98% sensitive (this means how successful at detecting the bacteria the test is). For women the Chlamydia sensitivity is about 90% and the sensitivity for Gonorrhoea on a urine sample is 85%. We therefore recommend that women test for Chlamydia on urine and attend WellCare for a Gonorrhoea test.

The Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea by PCR Home Test kit is a simple urine test.

Step 1
You receive the home test kit in an unmarked envelope complete with easy to use instructions.

Step 2
You pass a sample of urine into the container provided.

Step 3
You send the sample direct to our laboratory in the pre paid specimen envelope provided.

Step 4
The result is sent to WellCare usually within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample

Step 5
We phone you with the result or post the result to you, depending on which you requested*

*If you test positive for either or both Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, a WellCare doctor will call you with the results and advise you of a treatment plan.
