ABOUT THIS TEST
Note:
For individuals with genitalia typically referred to as female, a swab test is conducted, whereas for those with genitalia typically considered male, a urine test is provided.
For the urine test, it is important to use the first-morning urine as the pathogen density is highest at this time.

Anyone who is sexually active or has changed partners should consider getting tested for gonorrhea. Regardless of whether symptoms are present or not, early detection of gonorrhea is crucial to prevent further spread and minimize possible complications. Regular testing is part of a responsible and health-conscious lifestyle. With a gonorrhea test, infections can be detected early and appropriate measures can be taken to protect your own health and the health of your partners.
This test examines your sample for Gonorrhea (Clap):

Find out all about your sexual health now with our Gonorrhea Test - an easy and discreet home test that checks for gonorrhea (also known as gonorrhea), a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The test allows you to take the sample from the comfort of your own home and send it securely to our laboratory by post.
Gonorrhea infections can often have no noticeable symptoms, which can lead to undetected spread and serious complications. With our gonorrhea test you can detect possible infections early and take the necessary measures.
The quantitative PCR method is ideal for STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) tests because it can detect even small amounts of pathogen DNA. When someone is infected with an STI-causing pathogen, even small quantities of the specific pathogen DNA can be detected in their body.
The DNA is isolated and purified from the sample. In qPCR, it is heated to separate the DNA double helix strands. Specific pathogen sequences (primers) bind to the resulting single strands of DNA. Through an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, building blocks are added to these primers to replicate the DNA. By repeating the process multiple times, large amounts of copies of the pathogen DNA are generated. The primers are specifically labeled and trigger certain fluorescence signals during qPCR. Based on these signals, it can be inferred whether pathogen DNA is present in the sample.
