About the test

Many STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections), if left untreated, can lead to severe health problems, including infertility, complications in pregnancy, and increased risk of HIV infection. Early detection through testing allows for timely treatment, which can mitigate or prevent these outcomes.

Regular STI testing is part of responsible health maintenance, especially for those who are sexually active with multiple partners or new partners. It ensures ongoing monitoring of one’s sexual health.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

We combine urine and PCR testing for this investigation, so you might have to give a swab sample in addition to the urine.

The swab is from the genital area, so f you have any visible sores, lesions, or discharge from the genital area, a swab from the affected site can help diagnose infections like Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Trichomonas vaginalis or Mycoplasma genitalium.

Please follow the instructions on how to do that carefully.

If you don't have those symptoms, you don't have to supply a swab sample, just disregard in the household waste disposal.

Red flag symptoms for the STI Urine and Swab Test

Even if your results are normal, please contact your GP is you have any persistent symptoms of any kind, particularly pain or discharge.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the STI Urine and Swab Test.

  1. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING THE STI URINE AND SWAB TEST.

    The urine sample must be taken with the first urination of the day, in the morning.


    Please follow printed instructions that come with your kit regarding the swab sample, i.e. whether to provide it or not.


Venepuncture appointment - how to prepare

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit for STI Urine and Swab Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

Why do you test for Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide, particularly among young adults and teenagers.

Many people with chlamydia do not exhibit symptoms. In fact, up to 70-90% of women and 50% of men with chlamydia might not experience noticeable symptoms.

This means the infection can go undetected and untreated if not tested for.

Why do you test for Gonorrhoea?

If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to severe complications.

In women, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), leading to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.

In men, it can cause epididymitis, which can also result in infertility.

Additionally, untreated gonorrhea can spread to the bloodstream, causing disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI), which can be life-threatening.
