The GUM Clinic can arrange a fast test for the two most common sexually transmitted infections in the UK: chlamydia and gonorrhoea.

The test uses PCR technology to reveal an infection using either a urine sample or a vaginal swab.

How quick are the results?

This test is a laboratory based test to ensure accuracy of results. We can get results to you within 24 hours of the sample arriving at our lab.

How accurate are the results?

As this test is done under laboratory conditions using the latest technology, you can expect highly accurate results so long as the sample was taken correctly. If you have symptoms, you should get our full screen.

How long should I wait to get tested?

If you are getting tested after a risky event then you can get tested straight away but there is a possibility that your sample will not contain any bacteria and the test will have to be repeated when at least 14 days have passed since the risky event. To be absolutely sure that your sample will provide an accurate result, you can wait for 14 days before providing the sample.

Can I get fast delivery?

As with all our tests, you can get this test sent for guaranteed next day delivery in the UK.
