What Is the Difference Between a Chlamydia Test and a Gonorrhea Test?
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are two different bacterial infections, but they spread the same way and often show up together. That's why they're usually tested at the same time. Our STD urine test checks one sample for the genetic material of both bacteria, so one visit gives you two answers.
Want trich checked too? The 3-Test Urine Panel adds trichomoniasis to the same urine sample for $24 more.
What Are the Symptoms of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea?
According to the CDC, most people with chlamydia have no symptoms, and many women with gonorrhea don't either.
When symptoms do show up:
Chlamydia: usually 1 to 3 weeks after exposure, as burning when you pee, unusual discharge, or pelvic pain. Men may notice pain or swelling in the testicles.
Gonorrhea: usually within about 2 weeks, with similar symptoms: burning, discharge, and for women, bleeding between periods.
Left untreated, both can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and fertility problems. Both are curable with antibiotics.
Who Should Get Tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea?
-
Anyone with a new partner or more than one partner
-
Anyone with burning, discharge, or pelvic pain
-
Anyone whose partner tested positive
-
According to the CDC, sexually active women under 25 should be tested every year, and women 25 and older with new or multiple partners too
-
Anyone treated for chlamydia or gonorrhea. Retest about 3 months later to make sure you haven't been reinfected
How Soon After Exposure Should I Get Tested?
Chlamydia and gonorrhea usually show up on a test about 1 to 2 weeks after exposure.
Testing sooner can miss an infection. If you have symptoms, come in now. If it's been only a few days and you feel fine, wait a week or two for the most accurate result.
Is a Urine Test Accurate for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea?
Yes. Our lab uses a PCR test, which looks for the bacteria's genetic material.
For men, a urine sample is the recommended way to test. For women, urine is a reliable screening option, though according to the CDC, a vaginal swab can catch slightly more infections. If you have symptoms and a negative urine result, ask us about retesting.
One more thing to know: a urine test checks for genital infections. If you've had oral or anal sex, an infection in the throat or rectum may not show up in urine. Ask us at check-in about the right test for your situation.
What Happens If I Test Positive?
We won't leave you stuck. Both infections are curable with antibiotics, and chlamydia and gonorrhea treatment is available here. Just ask us. Your partners should be treated at the same time so the infection doesn't pass back and forth, and you should retest in about 3 months.
