Chlamydia screening test

Chlamydia trachomatis is transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse.
The incubation period is not precisely defined and typically ranges from one to several weeks.
If symptoms appear, a molecular biological test using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) should be performed. The first morning urine sample is best suited for this purpose, as the concentration of Chlamydia is highest in the morning. Chlamydia trachomatis does not confer immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with Chlamydia trachomatis again.

Gonorrhea screening test

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease with an incubation period of 2–7 days. Once symptoms appear, gonococci can be detected using PCR (polymerase chain reaction). If the test is performed on urine, the first morning urine sample is best, as the concentration of gonococci is highest in the morning. Gonorrhea does not confer immunity. Reinfection can occur if the person comes into contact with gonococci again.
