Who is this test for?
This test is designed for anyone who believes they’ve had sex with someone who has gonorrhoea.
Since this test only identifies gonorrhoea, it’s recommended that you take a more comprehensive test if you wish to fully assess your sexual health. If you have symptoms, these may not be caused by gonorrhoea, but could be caused by other conditions.

-
Book your clinic and time
Choose from 100+ clinics. When you pick one, you will see whether it collects your urine sample on site or sends you a kit to bring with you.
-
If needed, collect your sample at home first
Some clinics do not collect urine on site. For those, we post an unlabelled collection kit to your home or a Post Office of your choosing. Book at least 4 days ahead so it arrives, then follow the instructions and bring it with you.
-
Visit the clinic
Our clinics are located in discreet, general health settings, so no one will know why you are there. Depending on the clinic, you may need to bring your test kit and/or a valid ID — we'll let you know in advance if either is required. A trained nurse or doctor will collect the samples needed for your test, which may include blood, urine or a swab.

FAQs
The questions we hear most about this test, answered plainly.
This test is designed for anyone who believes they’ve had sex with someone who has gonorrhoea.
Since this test only identifies gonorrhoea, it’s recommended that you take a more comprehensive test if you wish to fully assess your sexual health. If you have symptoms, these may not be caused by gonorrhoea, but could be caused by other conditions.
The test is carried out using swab samples that will be collected during your appointment under the supervision of the clinician. You may be required to collect the swab sample yourself, but full instructions will be given. We’ll then carry out the test using your samples whilst you wait.
This test takes 30 minutes to gain accurate results, however a confirmatory sample is also taken and sent to our laboratory for a more thorough analysis.
Please be advised that this test will only offer the advised level of accuracy 14 days after potential exposure. If you believe you came into contact sooner than 14 days then you may wish to contact our customer services team who can discuss your options with you.
Can Gonorrhoea Be Detected Immediately?
No, there needs to be a window period of at least 7 days before tests can detect a potential Gonorrhoea infection. We advise waiting 14 days, as this is the optimum time: it’s not too long after exposure while not too soon for a test to give a false negative result.
Can I Test Negative for Gonorrhoea and Still Have It?
Yes, if you test too soon after you’ve been exposed, the test might come back negative. That’s why make sure you have waited for the required minimum number of days before taking a test.
How Accurate Is a Rapid Gonorrhoea Test?
Gonorrhoea instant tests offer the same accuracy as other STI tests. Quicker results are available because of advanced technology, so you can rest assured a compromise on accuracy hasn’t been made.
Can Gonorrhoea Be Tested at Home?
Yes, you can purchase a home Gonorrhoea test kit if you wish to take the sample in the comforts of your own home. No need to visit a clinic: simply order the test and the kit will be delivered to your door. Then, use the return postage envelope to send the sample back.
Can I Get Instant Tests for Other STIs?
Yes, you can get tested for 5 different STIs and receive your results within minutes with our Instant Comprehensive Profile Test. It is available in 14 of our clinics nationwide and you can get tested for Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, HIV, Syphilis and Herpes all at the same time.
