STD Test Singapore

Rapid Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea Test

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are the top 2 STIs in Singapore. If left untreated, both diseases can cause serious long-term consequences like infertility and pregnancy complications that can affect the unborn child.

Thankfully, we can test for these STIs quickly and accurately. With real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology, our rapid test is able to detect the DNA of both Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea in real-time. This allows for fast and accurate diagnosis of STIs caused by these 2 organisms. The accuracy of the test can be up to 95%.

At our clinics, this rapid test can produce results by the next working day, allowing us to facilitate prompt and appropriate treatment. All that is required is either a urine, endocervical, throat or anus sample, depending on where the infection is likely to be present. This will be determined by your doctor after the assessment.

We understand that getting STI testing can be daunting and there may be concerns about privacy. That is why at DTAP’s clinics we now offer Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test using the same rapid technology of PCR.
