Before you get treated you will need to have a test.
Testing is easy and usually involves providing a simple urine sample. Testing may also involve a throat or anal swab if you have had unprotected oral or anal sex. If you are a woman, you may also be asked for a lower vaginal swab which you can do quickly and easily yourself if you prefer.
There are lots of places you can go for a confidential test, including your general practitioner doctor, family planning clinic or sexual health clinic. Find a clinic to get tested for STIs
You can also complete our online risk self-assessment; we will provide you with a free PathWest pathology test form you can take with you to any PathWest collection centre to get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhoea even if you don’t have any symptoms.
If your urine test comes back with a positive result for either chlamydia, gonorrhoea or maybe both, then the treatment for these is easy. It is usually just a one-dose treatment or a short course of antibiotics.
If your test is positive you may have infected your sex partner(s). Any person you have had sex with has a right to know if they are also infected. It is your responsibility to let them know and allows them to get help, if they need it. You also have a right to know if your partner is infected.
