What This Test Includes
Vaginal Swab
The vaginal swab checks for chlamydia, one of the most common bacterial STIs. Chlamydia may not always cause symptoms, so testing can still be useful even if you feel well.
The vaginal swab also screens for gonorrhoea, a bacterial STI that can affect the genital tract and may require treatment if detected.
Why Choose This Vaginal STI Screen?
Focused Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Testing
This screen checks for chlamydia and gonorrhoea using one vaginal swab sample, making it suitable for targeted STI screening.
Vaginal Swab Testing for Women
Vaginal swab testing may be preferred for women when screening for chlamydia and gonorrhoea, particularly if symptoms such as vaginal discharge are present.
Suitable With or Without Symptoms
