This PCR test detects DNA from chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis), gonorrhoea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae), and HPV (human papillomavirus, high-risk types). It identifies active infections or viral presence in genital samples.
Sample collection: A simple swab is taken from the genital area (vaginal, cervical, urethral, or rectal as appropriate) using our home kit or at a UK clinic. The kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
The Genital Swab/PCR test for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HPV DNA is a sensitive molecular test that detects the genetic material of these common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is used to screen for asymptomatic infections or diagnose symptoms like discharge, pain during urination, or abnormal bleeding. Early detection is crucial as untreated infections can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, or increased cancer risk (e.g., cervical cancer from HPV). Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.
detects the bacterium causing chlamydia, a leading cause of bacterial STIs.
identifies gonorrhoea, which can cause serious reproductive issues if untreated.
screens for oncogenic HPV strains linked to cervical, anal, and other cancers.
A genital swab sample is required (collected in a transport medium tube). No special patient preparation is needed, though avoiding sexual activity or douching for 24 hours prior may improve accuracy. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.
Routine testing for sexually active individuals, especially those with new partners or at higher risk.
Investigate genital discharge, pain, or irregular bleeding that may indicate infection.
Early detection of HPV can lead to follow-up like colposcopy; chlamydia/gonorrhoea treatment prevents spread and long-term damage.
For individuals with multiple partners, MSM (men who have sex with men), or those in outbreak settings. The test provides targeted detection and often leads to antibiotic treatment or vaccination recommendations if abnormalities are found.
You may be advised to take a Genital Swab/PCR if you have any of the following signs or risk factors: Symptoms of infection: Unusual discharge, burning during urination, genital sores, or pelvic pain. Recent unprotected sex: Especially with new or multiple partners. Routine screening: As part of sexual health check-ups, particularly for those under 25 or in high-prevalence areas. HPV-related concerns: Abnormal Pap smear results or family history of cervical cancer. For example, a patient with vaginal discharge may test positive for chlamydia, leading to prompt antibiotic treatment. Similarly, someone with no symptoms but high-risk behaviour might detect asymptomatic gonorrhoea, preventing transmission. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

A Genital Swab/PCR uses polymerase chain reaction to detect DNA from these pathogens in swab samples. It is highly accurate for identifying active infections.
It is recommended for STI screening, symptom investigation, or contact tracing after potential exposure. It helps diagnose and prevent the spread of these common infections.
No special preparation is usually required. Avoid using vaginal creams or having sex for 24 hours before sampling for best results.
A swab is gently inserted into the genital area (self-collected at home or by a clinician). It is quick and minimally invasive.
Risks are very low. You might experience mild discomfort during swabbing, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Results are typically available within 2–3 working days. Swift Blood Tests provides a detailed doctor’s report explaining your results. You will be notified by email or phone as agreed.
Yes. Swift Blood Tests offers a convenient home swab kit with instructions, or you can choose a clinic appointment. Follow the included instructions to collect and return the sample by post.
Recent antibiotic use may reduce detection of bacterial STIs. Ensure you inform the doctor of any recent treatments.
A positive result indicates infection or viral presence, requiring treatment (e.g., antibiotics for chlamydia/gonorrhoea) or follow-up (e.g., for HPV). Your doctor will guide next steps.
This test is intended for adults (18+). If testing is needed for a child or teenager, please consult with a paediatric specialist or contact us for guidance.
