Oral Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia Test Kit
This test checks for the presence of chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat. Both of these sexually transmitted infections can be passed on during oral sex.
The swab test is easy to use and reliable. If you have recently had unprotected oral sex with someone who has either STD or whose sexual health status is unclear, the oral swab can give you peace of mind. You should get tested to prevent passing oral chlamydia or oral gonorrhea to future partners. Timely treatment is also essential in order to prevent complications.
To carry out the home test follow these steps:
- Place an order and get your kit delivered to your door (delivery is free)
- Collect your sample by following the instructions in the test kit
- Send your samples to our UK-based, accredited partner laboratory (postage is free)
- Once your results are available (in 2 to 3 days), our doctors will review your results
- One of our doctors will contact you, via a secure and confidential message in your patient account, to let you know your results and give you advice and support on what to do next
The time to test for both chlamydia and gonorrhea is 14 days after unprotected sex. Testing before this time could lead to an incorrect result.
In some cases, the doctor may need to ask for more information. They may contact you by phone, so make sure your telephone number is up to date in your online account.

How our service works
- Order before 4pm and we will send your test kit the same day. Orders received after 4pm will be sent out the next working day.
- Your test kit will be posted to you via your choice of first class or next day delivery.
- Your test results will be available 2-3 days after your sample reaches the laboratory.
Wait to test until at least 2 weeks after you think you caught chlamydia or gonorrhoea. These infections probably won’t show up on any tests you take before then.
There is a small chance that a recent chlamydia or gonorrhea infection won’t appear on a test and give a negative result. If your test comes back negative, you should get tested again 6 weeks later to make sure that any recent infections are detected.
About Oral Chlamydia And Gonorrhea
How does the swab test work?
The swab test is easy to use and is more than 99% accurate. The test kit includes the oral swab and a leaflet with detailed instructions. Follow the instructions carefully and ensure that you label your sample correctly. Once you have taken your sample it should be posted back to our laboratory in the free pre-paid envelope provided.
You will get your results within 2–3 days of your sample reaching the lab. Once your results are available our doctors will review them and send them to you via a secure and confidential message in your online patient account.
In some cases if the doctor needs more information, they may contact you by phone. Make sure your telephone number is up to date in your online account. Our doctors are available to offer advice and further support if needed.
Oral Chlamydia
Oral chlamydia occurs when you engage in oral sex with an infected partner. The infection is transmitted from the genitalia to your mouth, causing an infection in the throat. Oral chlamydia often remains symptomless. If you have had oral sex with a partner who may have chlamydia, you should get tested in order to find out whether you have been infected.
The best way to avoid an oral chlamydia infection is to use a condom when engaging in oral sex. You should only have unprotected oral sex when both partners have been tested for sexually transmitted diseases.
Treatment for chlamydia of the throat is with antibiotics and can be received through your local sexual health clinic.
Oral Gonorrhea
Just like chlamydia, gonorrhea can also be transmitted orally. Oral gonorrhea symptoms include a sore throat which can be accompanied by pain and puss. However, gonorrhea in the throat often remains symptomless and unsuspected. As with other sexually transmitted diseases, it is important that you protect yourself from infection by using a condom when having oral sex.
Treatment for chlamydia of the throat is with antibiotics and can be received through your local sexual health clinic.
