Better2Know provides confidential instant STI testing services throughout the United Kingdom. Our tests are available at many of our private sexual health clinics across the UK where you can get fast and accurate results for all sexually transmitted infections, including Gonorrhoea. Our instant Gonorrhoea test requires a swab of the urethra for men and a cervical swab for women. These swabs can be collected by your Better2Know doctor or clinician or you can take the sample yourself if you prefer. If you choose to self-collect, you will be told how to do this at your appointment.
Your instant Gonorrhoea test recommends a 14-day period of incubation. This is the time between an incident of concern and your Better2Know test. It is important not to test too early as your infection may not yet be detectable. Contact our Sexual Health Advisors with any questions and we will make sure you get the right tests at the right time for you.
Your confidential instant Gonorrhoea results will be ready only 15 minutes after your sample has been collected. You will be given a signed and completed copy of the Better2Know Rapid Test Results Report which will detail your Gonorrhoea test result.

Your Better2Know doctor will collect the swab sample from the cervix (women) or urethra (men) for fast, accurate analysis. You can also choose to collect your own sample if you prefer. Your sample will then be combined with a reagent solution and added to the Gonorrhoea testing cassette. If you are positive for Gonorrhoea, two lines will appear. Otherwise, only one line will appear, and your instant Gonorrhoea test will be negative.
If you test positive for Gonorrhoea, your private Better2Know doctor will provide a prescription for the medication you require at no additional cost to you. Better2Know’s experienced doctor will choose the most suitable treatment option for you. Generally, a Gonorrhoea infection is treated with an injection plus an antibiotic tablet. You can discuss your treatment options with your Better2Know doctor or advisor at any time. A test-of-cure is advisable two weeks after you have completed your treatment. This is to ensure the infection has completely cleared.
If you have a Gonorrhoea infection you may not know about it. Around 15% of men and up to 80% of women will not have any symptoms of their Gonorrhoea infection. This is one of the reasons why Gonorrhoea is so common and easily spread. Therefore getting tested for Gonorrhoea is very important.
Testing is the only reliable way to know if you are carrying this infection. If you have a Gonorrhoea infection you need to get treatment right away to protect your health and avoid spreading the infection to your partners.
Most cases of Gonorrhoea in women have no symptoms. Men with a Gonorrhoea infection will often have an unpleasant green or yellow discharge from the penis. If symptoms do develop, they are likely to appear from 2 to 7 days after infection.
Symptoms of Gonorrhoea in women can include:
Symptoms of Gonorrhoea in men can include:
A Gonorrhoea infection will not generally go away on its own. To get rid of a Gonorrhoea infection you need to be treated with the correct antibiotics. This is particularly important as there are now some emerging types of Gonorrhoea that are resistant to certain common antibiotics. These strains of antibiotic resistant Gonorrhoea present a significant health threat and must be eliminated. To achieve this getting tested is the first step followed by treatment with the right antibiotics. A final test of cure should then be done to make sure the infection has been cleared. If you are worried about Gonorrhoea you should:
Untreated Gonorrhoea infections present a significant health risk to you and your partners. Without treatment, the Gonorrhoea bacteria will multiply inside your body and will start to harm your internal organs. Gonorrhoea can damage the reproductive organs of both men and women. In severe cases the infection can spread inside the body leading to organ failure and life-threatening conditions. The most common consequences of an untreated Gonorrhoea infection are:
Gonorrhoea infections can be prevented if you take a few sensible precautions. You should:
