$85.99
The Gonorrhea Test is a simple and effective way to detect the presence of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) Gonorrhea. This test is essential for anyone who is sexually active, especially if you are experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain during urination, or if you’ve had unprotected sex with a new partner. Early detection of Gonorrhea is crucial for effective treatment and to prevent serious health complications.
Who is it for? This test is recommended for individuals who are sexually active, particularly those who have had unprotected sex, multiple partners, or are experiencing symptoms associated with Gonorrhea.
What is it for? The test is designed to detect the presence of the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes Gonorrhea. Early diagnosis allows for prompt treatment, preventing the spread of the infection and reducing the risk of complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or infertility.
Outcome of the Test A positive result indicates the presence of Gonorrhea, requiring medical treatment, usually with antibiotics. A negative result means no Gonorrhea bacteria were detected, offering peace of mind or indicating the need to explore other causes of symptoms.
