About this test

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea commonly infect the urethra, vagina or penis, often without symptoms, and this test looks for the genetic material of both bacteria in a urine sample provided at a clinic appointment.

At £145, it is priced the same as Better2Know's rectal swab, throat swab and its separately listed urine test, all covering the same two markers, though this particular listing only offers a clinic booking rather than a home nurse visit. Better2Know's own home kits for throat, urine and vaginal sampling are each £45, and outside Better2Know, LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's kit costs £27.99 and Forth's Basic STI Home Test Kit costs £42, both covering the same two markers.

The test scores at the top of the range for clinical depth, matching the two-marker median for its comparison group, and well for collection convenience, though slightly below its swab-based siblings since no home nurse visit is mentioned here. value for money sits mid-range against the £145 comparison-group median, well above the home-kit alternatives. It scores lowest on results and follow-up, since Better2Know does not review your result with a doctor as standard. Better2Know is CQC registered, with a Trustpilot score of 4.2 from 775 reviews.

Who is it for?

This test suits you if you want a straightforward clinic appointment for a genital chlamydia and gonorrhoea check, with or without symptoms, and do not need a home nurse visit. Better2Know suggests testing straight away with symptoms, or waiting 14 days after exposure if you have none.

If you would prefer someone to visit you at home, Better2Know's separately listed Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea (Urine) Test offers a nurse-visit option at the same £145 price. If cost matters more, Better2Know's own £45 home kits or Forth's £42 kit test for the same two markers, and if you are concerned about throat or rectal infection, you will need a separate swab test.

How it works

You attend a Better2Know clinic and provide a urine sample, which is sent to the laboratory the same day. The sample is analysed for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, with results typically available within two working days through Better2Know's secure online patient area. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though Better2Know says it can help arrange treatment if you test positive.

This urine test checks for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the genital and urinary tract at a Better2Know clinic, with results within two working days, and costs £145. Unlike Better2Know's similarly priced urine test, this listing does not mention a home nurse visit, and a £45 home kit version of the same two markers is sold separately.
