Why Complete STI Testing Matters

Did you know that many STls show no symptoms? Regular
testing is the only way to know your status for certain.
The Essential 7 STI Test Kit from examine me provides
laboratory-grade testing for all major STIs without the
need to visit a clinic.

Our unique dual-collection approach combines both urine
and PCR swab samples to ensure nothing is missed.
Different infections can colonize different areas of the body,
which is why testing with both methods provides the most
comprehensive results.

Who should get tested?

All testing is conducted in our UKAS-accredited UK laboratory (ISO 15189),
the same facilities trusted by NHS sexual health services.

Why Choose the Essential 7 STI Test Kit

Dual Collection for Superior Accuracy

Unlike most home testing kits that rely on just one sample type, our Essential 7 kit combines both urine and PCR swab collection. This dual approach ensures maximum detection accuracy across all infection sites – especially important for infections that may not show up reliably in a single sample type.

Complete 7-Infection Panel

One kit tests for all major STIs:

  • Chlamydia trachomatis
  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea)
  • Mycoplasma genitalium
  • Trichomonas vaginalis
  • Herpes Simplex I & II
  • Ureaplasma species
  • Gardnerella vaginalis

Why choose separate tests when you can screen for everything at once?

PCR Laboratory Technology

We use Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) – the gold standard in STI detection with 99.9% accuracy. PCR testing can detect infections even in their earliest stages when other testing methods
might miss them.

Fully UKAS Accredited

Every sample is processed in our UK-accredited laboratory using identical methods to NH5 sexual health clinics. Our testing procedures are regularly audited and maintained to the highest standards (ISO 15189).

Fast, Secure Results

Digital results delivered to your secure online account within 48 hours of sample receipt. Our system uses 256-bit encryption, the same security level used by major banks.

7 Essential STI Tests in One Complete Kit

Our comprehensive panel tests for every infection you need to know about:

Chlamydia trachomatis

The UK's most common STI with over 200,000 new cases annually. Often presents no symptoms but can cause serious complications including pelvic inflammatary disease and infertility if left untreated. Our dual-collection method ensures highest detection rates.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Gonorrhea infections have risen by 26% in the UK in recent years. This bacterial infection can spread beyond the genitals to joints, heart valves and even the brain if not treated promptly. PCR testing detects even low-level infections.

Mycoplasma genitalium

An emerging STI that many standard tests miss, Becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, making early detection crucial. Our PCR testing can identify this infection when many other kits cannot.

Trichomonas vaginalis

A parasitic infection that can increase HIV risk and cause uncomfortable symptoms. Men often show no symptoms but can still transmit the infection. Both urine and swab testing helps ensure datection.

Herpes Simplex I & II

Our test detects both oral (HSV-1) and genital (HSV-2) herpes viruses, which can be transmitted even without visible symptoms. PCR testing can detect the virus even between outbreaks.

Ureaplasma specie

Often overlooked in standard testing but can cause urethritis and contribute to fertility issues. Our comprehensive ponel includes this often-missed infection.

Gardnerella vaginalis

Associated with bacterial vaginosis and can increase susceptibility to other STls. Important for complete sexual hectth monitoring.

Why Both Urine AND Swab Testing Matters

Different STIs colonize different areas of the body. Some are better detected in urine, while others are more accurately identified via swab. Our dual-collection approach ensures you don't miss infections that might be overlooked with single-sample testing.

NHS sexual health clinics typically use both collection methods because the combined approach provides the most comprehensive and accurate results. By choosing our dual-collection home test, you're getting the same clinical standard without the clinic visit.

Infection Best Detection Method Why Both Matter
Chlamydia Both effective Different strains may prefer different sites
Gonorrhea Both effective Can colonize various areas
Mycoplasma PCR swab often better May be missed in urine alone
Trichomoniasis PCR swab often better Higher detection rates with both
Herpes I & II PCR swab primarily Swab essential for accurate results
Ureaplasma Both effective Comprehensive detection
Gardnerella PCR swab primarily May be missed in urine alone
