As indicated by clinical guidelines, The CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHEA TEST FOR MEN – EARLY DETECTION uses molecular techniques by PCR to detect the genetic material of the microorganisms that cause these infections. The use of these techniques, unlike serological (based on antibody detection), allows a more sensitive and early detection of a possible infection in those people who have recently engaged in risky behavior.
To accurately and rigorously determine whether a person is infected with an STI, it is essential to know the so-called "window period" for each infection.. specifically, the window period (average time from infection to the time when diagnostic tests can reliably detect it) for the molecular detection of these infections is of 10 days on average in most cases. For this reason, In people without symptoms who wish to rule out recent infection, we recommend take this test passed 10 days after risk contact.
In case of obtaining a positive result, if you wish, You can arrange a free telematic consultation with one of our doctors so that they can advise you on the interpretation of the results and answer any questions, as well as indicate the steps and treatment to follow.
