Mycoplasma genitalium is a bacterial infection of the urinary and reproductive tract that can occur without symptoms. This test uses a urine sample, collected at home and posted to the laboratory, to check for the bacteria using PCR. It is aimed at men and women who suspect they may have an infection, and is most accurate around 14 days after possible exposure. A positive result indicates the infection is present rather than diagnosing any complications from it.
Against its direct peer, the clinic-based Mycoplasma Test from the same provider, this home kit is £50 cheaper, at £95 versus £145, while covering the same single marker. It is also priced below the £145 median for the 81 similarly sized sexual health tests we track.
The scores reflect strong value for money and good collection convenience, since the whole process can be done at home. It scores less well on clinical depth, since it checks a single marker, and on results and follow-up, because it is not doctor-reviewed as standard, though the provider notes a doctor will help arrange treatment if your result comes back positive.
This suits men and women who suspect a Mycoplasma genitalium infection and would rather collect a sample at home and post it to the lab than attend a clinic. It is a lower-cost way to get the same result as Better2Know's clinic-based Mycoplasma Test, which covers the same single marker for £145. If you would prefer a healthcare professional to handle the sample collection, or want to combine testing with a wider sexual health check, the clinic version or a broader STI panel may suit you better.
You collect a urine sample at home and post it to Better2Know's laboratory, where it is analysed using PCR to detect Mycoplasma genitalium. Results are typically available within five days of the lab receiving your sample, and are uploaded to your secure online patient area, with notification by phone, email or text. The sheet does not state that results are doctor-reviewed as standard, though the provider says a doctor will help arrange treatment if your result is positive.
This urine test for Mycoplasma genitalium can be done entirely at home and posted to the lab, with results in five days. At £95 it costs £50 less than Better2Know's own clinic version of the same test, and it is not doctor-reviewed as standard.
