The Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Rectal PCR Test is a discreet, reliable at-home test that detects Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections from rectal swabs. Designed for people who may have been exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through anal sex, this test allows you to take control of your sexual health without the need for clinic visits.
Early detection is key to preventing complications, protecting partners, and receiving timely treatment.
Rectal STIs often present without noticeable symptoms, particularly chlamydia, which can remain silent for months. Gonorrhoea can also be asymptomatic, but untreated infections may lead to:
Increased risk of HIV transmission
Rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding
Long-term complications such as proctitis or systemic infections
Spread to sexual partners
Testing at home ensures privacy, convenience, and faster results, helping you take action promptly.
This PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is the gold standard for STI detection. It identifies the genetic material of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, making it highly sensitive and accurate.
Key features include:
Detects both chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections
Non-invasive self-collected rectal swab
Clinically validated laboratory analysis
Results typically available within a few days
Safe, discreet, and confidential
This test is recommended if you:
Have had unprotected anal sex
Have multiple sexual partners or new partners
Suspect exposure to an STI
Are experiencing rectal symptoms such as discharge, pain, or bleeding
Want regular STI screening as part of sexual health maintenance
Even if you have no symptoms, testing is crucial because rectal infections can go unnoticed while still being transmissible.
