Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Testing
What types of tests are available?
For Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea Testing, you would provide a urine sample and that will be tested in a lab. This is a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test.
You can choose to have the test done by any medical practitioner or you can purchase your prescription and lab test from Get Tested. Your doctor's prescription from our registered GP is included in the price, which makes this more affordable and convenient than going to your doctor for a script.
