What's tested?

This test screens for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, which are common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) affecting sexually active men. This test helps to rule out Chlamydia & Gonorrhea infections in the genital and urinary tract by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology before the onset of severe health complications

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, common among young sexually active individuals between 15-24 years of age. It spreads through vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected individual and often shows no symptoms. Undetected or untreated Chlamydia can lead to fever, pelvic pain, and increased risk of infertility as well as HIV. However, it is curable if detected at an initial stage.

It is a bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and targets your throat, genitals, and rectum. Like most STDs, it spreads through sexual contact with an infected individual. If not treated on time, it can lead to epididymitis, with an increased risk of infertility and HIV.

In such a scenario, the only way to rule out the possibility of an STI is through regular screening.

CDC recommends every sexually active man undergo a screening test for STDs once a year. Men with multiple sex partners should get tested as often as 3-6 months.
