The Science of STI PCR Testing: Accuracy, Speed, and Peace of Mind

Are you concerned about sexual health but want answers quickly and privately? With Mayfield Clinic’s At-Home STI PCR Test Kit (7-Infection Profile), you gain access to the latest PCR technology—delivering peace of mind within 2 days.

What Is PCR and Why Is It Accurate?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard in diagnostics. It works by detecting the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of bacteria and viruses even at very low levels—catching infections before symptoms appear.

Accurate, early detection means faster treatment and protects both your health and your partners’.

What’s Inside the 7-Infection Profile?

  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhoea
  • Trichomonas vaginalis
  • Mycoplasma genitalium
  • Ureaplasma urealyticum
  • Ureaplasma parvum
  • Mycoplasma hominis

This broad coverage empowers you to check for multiple infections with one simple sample.

Is the Process Easy and Convenient?

Absolutely. With the Mayfield Clinic home kit:

  • Choose either a urine sample or multisite swab, following the step-by-step guide
  • Package your sample using pre-paid return packaging
  • Receive secure, private results in just 2 days after the lab receives your sample

What If I Need In-Person Support?
