The test for bacterial infections covers some STIs, as well as infections that are not sexually transmitted (such as thrush or UTI). This test is done when you are experiencing unusual discharge.
 

Hepatitis B is a virus that affects the liver. It can have serious complications, such as liver scarria

If you are experiencing unusual discharge, genital pain, redness, or inflammation, it is recommended that you get tested for bacterial infections. Our tests look for bacterial infections that are sexually transmitted, such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and trichomoniasis, as well as other infections such as thrush or BV (bacterial vaginosis). Bacterial infections are often at the root of various symptoms including:

  • Penis or vaginal itching
  • Abnormal discharge
  • Smelly discharge
  • Lower pelvic pain
  • Urinary symptoms

Undiagnosed bacterial infections such as chlamydia can also cause a range of more serious issues and unfortunately, don’t show any symptoms until much more serious. So routine testing for bacterial infections whether or not you have symptoms can be very helpful.

Hepatitis B testing can detect an active virus, or previous exposure & immunity.

When should I get tested?

You should get tested for bacterial infections if you are experiencing symptoms or for peace of mind / before starting a relationship. The doctor or nurse may recommend this test if you have other symptoms as well, such as redness, itching, pain, or inflammation of the genitals.

 

What the test includes

The test is done using a urine sample and sometimes as a genital swab. The infections we can test for include candida (thrush), BV (bacterial vaginosis, an imbalance of the vaginal pH), trichomoniasis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia and other abnormal bacterial growth such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, ureaplasma & mycoplasma.

 

Procedure

Step 1
Preparing for test
To prepare for this test, please ensure that you avoid urinating for two hours prior to your appointment. This will give the most accurate results.
Step 2
During the test
During your appointment, after a brief discussion with the doctor or nurse, you will give a urine sample, & a genital swab will be taken. You should be finished with your appointment in around 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Results
Some of your results, such as the urine test for chlamydia & gonorrhoea, will be available within 24 hours. Others take longer. You will receive your results as they come in, & you can choose how you’d like them to be delivered. We will not contact you without your permission.
 

FAQs

The swab is a very quick process, & will not be painful. If you are already experiencing genital soreness or inflammation, it can cause mild discomfort, but the process only takes a few seconds.
 
In the event that you have an infection, you will be able to get a prescription from us as soon as the results have been delivered. If you have given us permission to call you, the doctor or nurse will contact you to alert you & advise on the next steps. Luckily, bacterial infections are easy to treat.
 
In general, the symptoms include pain, itching, soreness or redness in the genital area, unusual or discoloured discharge, & pain on urination or during/after sex. Not all infections will show symptoms, however, so a lack of symptoms does not indicate a lack of infection.
