The urine test for Gonorrhea is based on amplification of the DNA that is present in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Molecular gonorrhea testing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae is currently the standard and is widely used. The advantage of molecular tests is that they are generally more sensitive and specific than conventional culture (swabbing) and can therefore identify more positive specimens.
This gonorrhea test (GC) is a urine test. All you have to do is pee in a cup at the STD Test Center. No blood draws, no undressing, no swabbing.
Yes. Please do not urinate for at least 1 hour before going to the STD Test Center for accurate results.
Gonorrhea test results are either positive or negative. A positive result means there is an active infection. Antibiotics can be prescribed by the physicians on call to treat and cure the infection.
A negative Gonorrhea Test result means there is no evidence of infection at the time of the test. If you have a positive result, it's important to notify and treat any sexual partners who may have been exposed to the infection.
