About this test

This test uses a urine sample to check for chlamydia only, the single most common bacterial STI in the UK. It suits people who specifically want to test for chlamydia rather than a combined STI panel, and who are comfortable collecting a urine sample at home and posting it to the lab.

At £35 it is Better2Know's cheapest chlamydia test; its Instant Chlamydia Test, done in person, costs £185. If you think you may also have gonorrhoea or another STI, Better2Know's combined chlamydia and gonorrhoea kits cost £45 and would test for both from a single sample.

It scores well on price and on the clarity of the listing, and testing for a single marker is on the lighter side for a sexual health test, which is reflected in its clinical depth score. As with Better2Know's other STI kits, results and follow-up scores lower because routine doctor review of your result is not confirmed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you specifically want to test for chlamydia at the lowest cost, for example after being told a partner has tested positive for chlamydia specifically. If you are unsure which infection you may have, or want broader cover, Better2Know's combined chlamydia and gonorrhoea kit costs £45 and tests for both from one sample.

Wait at least the recommended 14 days after a risky encounter before testing if you have no symptoms, to avoid a false negative; if you do have symptoms, test as soon as possible and consider seeing a GP too.

How it works

You collect a urine sample at home using the container and instructions provided, then post it back using the pre-paid envelope. Orders placed before 4pm on a weekday are usually posted out the same day. Results are typically available within two days of your sample reaching the lab, and you can check them online or by email. If you test positive, Better2Know can arrange a doctor consultation for a fee, or you can take the result to your own GP.

This urine kit tests for chlamydia on its own for £35, making it Better2Know's most affordable chlamydia test; its in-clinic Instant Chlamydia Test costs £185 by comparison. Results are typically back within two days, though only one marker is covered, so it will not pick up gonorrhoea or other STIs.
