It's a bacterial infection, sexually transmitted and can affect the cervix, urethra, rectum, anus and throat. It was given the nickname of 'the clap' when the penis would be 'clapped' on both sides simultaneously to clear the blockage. The incidence of gonorrhoea is increasing in both men and women whether straight or gay.
Oral sex, Kissing & Touching. Unprotected penetrative sex is not necessary to catch Gonorrhoea.
Like Chlamydia, there will often be no symptoms so we recommend our OPTION 2 test which covers both.
A urine test for men and swab for women posted to you for next day delivery (if order received by 1600) after you have posted this back to our lab we will contact you with your result within 2-3 days.
* Note that the home test is unlikely to detect signs of infection caught within the last 2 weeks.
Well, we certainly don't need to 'clap' your penis anymore! Our Dr's can prescribe a 7-day treatment by post, which should clear it up. Some strains of gonorrhoea are resistant to the usual treatments (especially if caught abroad) and re-testing after treatment is advised. It will be important to get your partner tested too and a full screen should be done for other STIs.
