Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Home Test Information
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are two common bacterial STIs that often present with similar or no symptoms. Dual home test kits allow screening for both infections from a single sample, offering a practical solution for broader sexual health awareness.
What are Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea?
- Chlamydia is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis
- Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Both infections are transmitted through unprotected sexual contact and can affect the genitals, throat, or rectum.
Why dual testing matters
Because symptoms can overlap — or be absent entirely — testing for both infections at the same time helps reduce the risk of missed detection and supports informed next steps.
How combination home tests work
Combination tests typically use swab samples to screen for both infections simultaneously. Results are displayed using clear indicator lines within the timeframe stated in the instructions.
Understanding your results
- Negative: No antigens detected for either infection
- Positive: Antigens detected for one or both infections — follow-up with a healthcare professional is advised
