1. Testing Panel & Costs

Designed exclusively for the LGBTQ+ community.

Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are localized infections, meaning they stay at the specific site of sexual contact (genitals, rectum, or throat). For example, if you bottom and engage in anal or oral sex, a standard blood or urine test will likely miss an infection. Multi-site testing is essential for an accurate diagnosis.

Test samples:

Common samples include blood, urine, vaginal fluid, ulcer swabs, and oral swabs (depending on your symptoms, where they appear, and your sexual practices).
If you are unsure what you need, contact GD Health’s Medical Experts immediately for advice.

Pricing:

PCR testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia costs approximately 650,000 VND (prices may vary slightly depending on the province).

Gonorrhea – Neisseria gonorrhoeae:

Uses PCR to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA. High sensitivity/specificity ensures accurate diagnosis in genital, throat, and rectal areas, even without symptoms.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do I need throat and rectal swabs instead of just a blood or urine test?

Multi-site testing is crucial because Gonorrhea and Chlamydia bacteria are localized specifically at the point of sexual contact. Traditional methods have specific limitations:

Urine tests: Are only designed to detect infections in the genital tract and cannot detect bacteria in the throat or rectum.
Blood tests: There is currently no reliable blood test to accurately diagnose active Chlamydia or Gonorrhea.

I am using DoxyPEP for prevention, do I still need routine testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia?

Yes, you must maintain a routine screening schedule. According to official clinical guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while DoxyPEP is a highly effective preventive measure that significantly reduces the risk of bacterial infections (like Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis), it does not provide 100% absolute protection.

How soon after unprotected sex should I get tested?

Unlike HIV, which has a longer window period, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia have shorter incubation periods. You should wait 14 days (2 weeks) after unprotected sex to get tested. This “window period” is necessary for the bacteria to multiply to detectable levels. Testing (via urine or swab) after 14 days ensures the highest accuracy. If you test too early, the tests might not detect the pathogen, leading to a false-negative result.
