At STI Clinic based in South Kensington, London, we offer comprehensive Gonorrhoea testing and treatment. We accept bookings for individual tests as well as for comprehensive STD screening.
If you test results show positive for Gonorrhoea infection, or have had contact with someone who is infected, you will require treatment without delay. Our experienced medical team provides same day test in a private setting, and we also perform an optional culture swab test.
The number of Gonorrhoea cases has increased in the last few years, so safe sex practices (for example, using condoms) are essential. Your health and privacy are our top priorities at STI Clinic. We offer friendly and professional guidance on symptoms, testing and treatment, whilst providing a management plan without delay so you can stay healthy.
If you require treatment or Gonorrhoea test in London, we aim to support your sexual health needs calmly, safely and confidentially at STI Clinic.
Gonorrhoea symptoms usually appear about 14 days after your exposure to the bacteria. However, many people (especially women) have no symptoms. If symptoms exist, they may include:
Gonorrhoea does not show positive results immediately. Depending on where the infection may have occurred, it can take up to 14 days for results to be accurate. For the most reliable outcome, we recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after sexual contact before getting tested.
It is simple, quick, and painless, and uses a urine sample or swab sample. At the time of the consultation or during any sexual health check-up, the specialist sexual health consultant can take the swabs or the patient can swab them self.
Once the laboratory has received your sample, it will be analysed by professionals to ensure quick and reliable results.
For this test, you will need either a urine sample or a swab.
If you do not have symptoms, it will be a urine sample; and if you do have symptoms, a swab of the affected area is recommended.
Our tests utilise PCR, conducted in our own laboratory, and the Gonorrhea test results are usually available within a very short period of time.
This injection is prescription-only and can only be provided after a GP consultation and a confirmed positive result. If you haven’t been tested yet, our clinicians will arrange appropriate testing before prescribing the injection.
It is also important to know, that you have been diagnosed with Gonorrhoea, you should refrain from sexual activity for 7 days after receiving treatment. If you engage in sex prior to receiving treatment, you carry the risk of infecting your sexual partner(s).
Getting ready for this test doesn’t require any special preparation. Throughout this process, our medical practitioners will be sure to provide guidance and advice on what to do.
The test is done in a quick and effective manner without any form of discomfort. Our staff will instruct you and provide support if needed. This test involves taking a urine sample or a swab of the infected area.
Your results will be ready within a few days, and you can rest assured of accurate and confidential testing services. After your results are out, our medical professional will discuss them with you and advise you on any management and treatment plan if required.
If your only need is to rule out the likelihood that you might have Gonorrhoea or if you have been treated for Gonorrhoea in the past and want to confirm that it has been cleared, then this test is suitable for you. If you have any symptom of a sexually transmitted infection, we advise getting one of our comprehensive STI screenings to ensure any underlying infection is diagnosed correctly. The private Gonorrhoea test looks specifically for Gonorrhoea; and if you have another sexually transmitted infection this will not be detected on this test.

Gonorrhoea is an STI (sexually transmitted infection) caused by the gonococcus bacteria. Typically, it is transmitted through unprotected sex. Gonorrhoea is treatable and curable, but it is often asymptomatic – which is why most people do not even realise that they have the infection.
The bacteria causing Gonorrhoea thrives in semen and vaginal fluids. The infection is generally transferred during unprotected sexual contact. Gonorrhoea is spread to others in the following ways:
Gonorrhoea cannot be transmitted through casual, non-sexual contact. Kissing and hugging can be considered safe. Also, sharing towels, baths, toilet seats, utensils or cutlery does not pass on gonorrhoea.
For sexually active individuals, particularly if you have had unprotected sex, it is possible to catch an STI such as Gonorrhoea. It is advisable to have regular check-ups to protect your sexual health. You should get tested for gonorrhoea if:
The results usually take 2 to 3 days to arrive. Once you receive your results, our healthcare team at STI Clinic will guide you on the next steps. If your test comes back positive, contact us to discuss suitable treatment options.
There are already some strains of resistant gonorrhoea infection, so a follow-up appointment is needed about a week following treatment. The sexual health consultant will be monitoring your recovery and can retest you to make sure you have cleared the infection.
Yes. The antibiotic injection for gonorrhoea is prescription-only and can only be administered following a GP consultation and confirmation of a positive test result.
You can catch gonorrhoea again if you come in sexual contact with an infected person or have unprotected sex. Therefore, it is important to make sure your partners have been tested and treated before starting a sexual partnership again.
A condom can protect against Gonorrhoea infection during any vaginal, oral or anal sex. Cleaning any shared sex toys after every use or using condoms over them also act as a preventive measure.
Moreover, getting regular sexual health screening – particularly before unprotected sex or when you change a sex partner – can be proactive in preventing the spread of Gonorrhoea as well as other STIs. You can visit a sexual health clinic for confidential testing, advice, and treatment options to ensure you stay protected and healthy.
Gonorrhoea can cause very severe health problems when not treated, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, neonatal conjunctivitis in newborns passed from a mother having the infection, or epididymitis in men. Be sure to get tested and treated if you are at risk of exposure to this infection.
Kindly contact our medical experts if you are in London to get gonorrhoea testing today! You can be guaranteed confidential and accurate testing.
