What do we test for?

Chlamydia trachomatis

Chlamydia trachomatis is a common sexually transmitted bacterium that can infect the throat after oral sex. Early detection prevents complications and reduces transmission risk.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes gonorrhoea, which can infect the throat. Testing ensures prompt treatment, helping to avoid further health issues and stop spread.
