Genital + Oral/Anal STI Testing: When to Screen
We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after potential exposure to chlamydia or gonorrhea through anal, oral, or genital sex before taking a 3-site STI test. This ensures enough time for chlamydia and gonorrhea DNA to become detectable in your swab and urine test samples.
This Chlamydia Gonorrhea Test Might Be Right for You If:
- You want to rule out chlamydia and gonorrhea exposure
- Become sexually active
- Engage in sexual activity, including oral and/or anal sex
- Start a new sexual relationship
- Receive notification of gonorrhea or chlamydia infection from a previous partner
- You want to confirm you cleared a recent gonorrhea or chlamydia infection
- We recommend testing no sooner than two weeks after your completed antibiotic regimen.
- For the most accurate negative results, the CDC recommends testing at 3 months to confirm you cleared the infection and were not reinfected.1
- You are experiencing STD symptoms
- Anus
- Pain or discomfort in the anus
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- Rectal discharge (mucus or pus)
- Bleeding during or after bowel movements
- Sores, bumps, or warts around the anus
- Swelling or redness around the anal area
- Pain during anal sex or bowel movements
- Flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes)
- Some people with rectal STDs may have no symptoms but can still spread an infection
STDs can be transmitted to the rectal area during sexual activity, even if a partner’s infection is located in a different part of the body, such as the mouth or genitals. Engaging in anal sex with a partner who has a genital or throat infection increases the risk of transmission. Additionally, it’s possible to have an STD in multiple areas at the same time, such as the anus and genitals. Regular testing, including specialized anal STD tests, helps ensure early detection and proper treatment.
- Mouth/Throat
- Sores or ulcers in the mouth, throat, or tongue
- Sore throat
- Difficulty swallowing
- Swollen tonsils or lymph nodes
- White patches or spots on the tongue or gums
- Lesions similar to cold sores and fever blisters around the mouth
- Some people with oral STDs may have no symptoms but can still spread an infection
STDs can be transmitted to your mouth or throat when you perform oral sex on a partner who has a genital or rectal infection. Additionally, receiving oral sex from a partner with a mouth or throat infection can also result in an STD. It’s possible to have an infection in multiple areas simultaneously, such as both the throat and genitals. Regular testing, including specialized oral STD tests, helps ensure early detection and proper treatment.
- Pubic/Reproductive
- Pelvic pain
- Pain or burning during urination
- Bumps, lumps, or sores around the genitals
- Discharge from the vagina or penis
- Itching or irritation on the genitals
- Pain during sex
- Painful erections
- Rash on the genitals
- Vaginal odor
- Some people with genital STDs may have no symptoms but can still spread an infection
- You are a parent
- If your child engages genital, oral and/or anal sex, it’s a good idea to have them undergo extra-genital STI testing

How accurate is a 3-site chlamydia gonorrhea STI test?
Accurate CT/GC NAAT Test
Urine and swab tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea known as nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), like this test, are highly accurate in detecting the presence of gonorrhea and chlamydia DNA. These tests have been extensively studied and have shown excellent sensitivity and specificity.
The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals who have the infection (true positives), while specificity refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals who do not have the infection (true negatives).
NAAT chlamydia and gonorrhea tests have high sensitivity and specificity, typically ranging from 95% or higher.2 This means that they are very reliable in accurately detecting gonorrhea and chlamydia infections.
However, it’s important to note that no test is 100% perfect, and there is always a small possibility of false-positive or false-negative results. Factors such as the timing of the test (wait at least two weeks following exposure or treatment) and sample collection technique (follow sample collection instructions closely) most commonly can affect test sensitivity and specificity. For the most accurate negative results, we recommend you retest after 3 moths from your post treatment or possible exposure date to confirm your negative STI status. If you have any concerns about positive results, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional and/or repeating your test for definitive confirmation.

When to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea after exposure?
Gonorrhea Chlamydia Timeline
Getting tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea after unprotected anal, vaginal, or oral sex is usually done no sooner than 2 weeks after potential exposure. For the most accurate results, some physicians recommend testing after 3 weeks. To attain complete peace of mind, you may consider a follow-up STD test at the 3-month mark to confirm your negative result and definitively rule out any possibility of a new GC STD infection.
How long will I test positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea after treatment?
Chlamydia Gonorrhea Retest
The timing for retesting after completing a course of antibiotics to treat gonorrhea and chlamydia can vary depending on your medical history and the prescribed medication. Typically, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks after finishing the antibiotics before getting retested to confirm you cleared your infection. This waiting period allows sufficient time for the antibiotics to clear the infection. However, some healthcare providers may advise waiting longer, such as three weeks, to ensure accurate GC STD results.
The CDC recommends gonorrhea and chlamydia testing at 3 months to confirm you cleared the infection and were not reinfected.3

Common chlamydia symptoms questions
What are the signs of chlamydia?
Chlamydia is often called a “silent” infection because it frequently does not present noticeable symptoms, especially in its early stages. However, when symptoms appear, they can differ depending on the part of the body affected. Typical symptoms of chlamydia include:
Chlamydia Symptoms in Women
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Burning or discomfort during urination
- Spotting between periods or after sex
- Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
- Painful intercourse
Symptoms of Chlamydia in Men
- Penile discharge
- Burning sensation while urinating
- Pain or swelling in the testicles
- Irritation or itching at the tip of the penis
4U Health offers a home chlamydia test kit designed to detect genital chlamydia in both men and women. For more details, visit our chlamydia test at home kit product page.
Symptoms of Oral Chlamydia
Oral chlamydia, also called pharyngeal chlamydia, is an STI that impacts the throat. It may not cause symptoms, but when it does, they may include:
Sore throat: You might notice mild to persistent throat discomfort.
Redness and swelling: The throat may appear irritated or inflamed.
Swollen lymph nodes: Swelling in the neck caused by enlarged lymph nodes.
Hoarseness: Voice changes, such as a raspy or hoarse voice.
4U Health provides an STD throat swab test designed to identify throat chlamydia infections from oral sex. For a comprehensive test across different sites, try our 3-site at-home chlamydia kit, which includes a throat swab, rectal swab, and urine sample. Learn more on our Extragenital Gonorrhea & Chlamydia product page.
Symptoms of Anal Chlamydia
Anal chlamydia, also referred to as rectal chlamydia, affects the rectum and anus. It can be asymptomatic, but possible symptoms include:
Rectal discomfort: Pain or discomfort in the rectal region.
Anal discharge: Notable discharge from the anus.
Bleeding: Bleeding from the rectum, often during bowel movements.
Irritation or itching: An itchy sensation or feeling of fullness in the anal area.
Bowel habit changes: Diarrhea or constipation caused by rectal chlamydia.
4U Health offers an at-home chlamydia test kit with a rectal swab to detect anal chlamydia. For more details, check out our at home anal STD test product page.
Remember, symptoms of chlamydia in men, women, or oral and anal cases might overlap with other conditions or STIs. Since many individuals with chlamydia do not experience symptoms, regular testing is crucial for sexually active people. If you suspect chlamydia exposure, seek testing and treatment promptly.
Can chlamydia cause rectal itching?
Yes, it can, but not always. Rectal itching might result from chlamydia, but it can also stem from other causes, such as:
Poor hygiene: Improper cleaning of the anal area can lead to irritation.
Hemorrhoids: Swollen anal veins can trigger itching.
Anal fissures: Small tears in the anal lining causing pain or itching.
Yeast infections: Fungal infections that irritate the anal region.
Pinworms: A parasitic infection that often causes nighttime anal itching.
How do you test for rectal chlamydia?
Anal chlamydia can spread through anal sex. If you experience rectal itching or other symptoms, consult a healthcare provider or order a rectal chlamydia test. 4U Health offers a self-test rectal swab kit for home use.
Can chlamydia make the vagina itchy?
Yes, vaginal itching can be a symptom of chlamydia, though not always. Other STIs can also cause vaginal itching, such as:
Trichomoniasis: A parasitic infection causing itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort.
Genital herpes: Herpes may cause itching, burning, and genital sores.
Gonorrhea: Itching, abnormal discharge, and pain during urination are common symptoms.
Yeast infections: These fungal infections can lead to severe itching, redness, and thick discharge.
Chlamydia Symptoms in the Vaginal Area
STIs like chlamydia can cause several symptoms in the vaginal region. However, many infections may be asymptomatic. Typical symptoms include:
Unusual vaginal discharge: Discharge that may be yellow, white, or have an abnormal smell.
Itching or irritation: Persistent itching or discomfort in the vaginal area.
Pain during urination: A burning sensation while urinating.
Pain during sex: Discomfort or pain during intercourse.
Bleeding: Spotting between periods or after intercourse.
Keep in mind that these symptoms can have other causes, including non-STI-related conditions. If you experience symptoms, seek medical advice or consider full panel STD testing near me.
When do chlamydia symptoms start?
Chlamydia symptoms can appear at different times. They often develop within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure, but many people show no symptoms at all.
Chlamydia Timeline
Symptoms of chlamydia generally emerge 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. However, many people may not exhibit symptoms, making regular testing essential for sexually active individuals.
Even if symptoms are absent, you can still have an infection. If exposed, consult a healthcare provider or order a STD Test At Home kit from 4U Health.
Differences Between Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
Gonorrhea and chlamydia are bacterial infections affecting the throat, rectum, or genitals and often show similar symptoms. However, distinguishing between them is essential as treatment differs. Most healthcare providers recommend a combined test to screen for both infections simultaneously. Since these infections are often symptomless but can lead to severe complications if untreated, regular testing is strongly recommended for sexually active individuals.
Even if no symptoms are present, infection is still possible. If you suspect exposure, consult a healthcare provider or order a home-screening Gonorrhea Chlamydia Urine Test from 4U Health.
Common gonorrhea symptoms questions
What are the symptoms of gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is often referred to as a “silent” infection because many individuals do not experience noticeable symptoms, especially in the early stages. However, when symptoms do appear, they can vary depending on the part of the body that is affected. Typical gonorrhea symptoms include:
Gonorrhea Symptoms in Women
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Burning or pain during urination
- Irregular bleeding between menstrual periods
- Lower abdominal discomfort or pelvic pain
- Discomfort during sexual activity
Signs of Gonorrhea in Male
- Cloudy or clear discharge from the penis
- Burning sensation while urinating
- Pain or swelling in the testicles
- Irritation or itching at the penile opening
4U Health provides an at-home gonorrhea test kit designed to identify genital gonorrhea in both men and women. For details, visit our gonorrhea test product page.
Symptoms of Oral Gonorrhea
Oral gonorrhea, also called pharyngeal gonorrhea, affects the throat and is usually asymptomatic. However, in some cases, individuals might experience the following signs:
Sore throat: Persistent discomfort or irritation in the throat.
Redness and swelling: The throat may appear inflamed or irritated.
Painful swallowing: Discomfort when eating or drinking.
Tonsil inflammation: Swollen tonsils or white spots on them, resembling tonsillitis.
4U Health offers a gonorrhea in the throat test for detecting infections acquired through oral sex. For a more comprehensive screening, consider our 3-site at-home gonorrhea test kit, which includes a throat swab, rectal swab, and urine sample to test for oral, rectal, and genital gonorrhea.

Symptoms of Rectal Gonorrhea
Rectal gonorrhea, also called anal gonorrhea, affects the rectum and anus. While it can be asymptomatic, the following symptoms may occur in some cases:
Rectal pain: Discomfort or soreness in the anal area.
Anal discharge: Abnormal secretion from the anus.
Rectal bleeding: Bleeding during bowel movements or otherwise.
Irritation or itching: An itchy or irritated feeling around the anus.
Changes in bowel habits: Altered bowel movements, such as diarrhea or constipation.
4U Health provides an STD test rectal swab kit that helps identify anal gonorrhea.
It’s worth noting that symptoms of gonorrhea—whether genital, oral, or rectal—can also be caused by other health conditions or STIs. Moreover, many individuals with gonorrhea may not show any symptoms. Regular testing is vital, particularly if you are sexually active or have engaged in unprotected sex. If you think you’ve been exposed to gonorrhea, seek testing and appropriate treatment promptly.
Can gonorrhea cause rectal itching?
Yes, but it’s not always the case. Gonorrhea may lead to rectal itching, though this symptom can result from a variety of other conditions. Anal itching is not exclusive to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Here are some non-STI-related reasons for anal itching:
Poor hygiene: Not properly cleaning the anal area can result in irritation and itching.
Hemorrhoids: Enlarged blood vessels in the rectal area can cause itching and discomfort.
Anal fissures: Small tears in the anal lining may lead to pain and itching.
Yeast infections: Infections caused by candida or other fungi can occur around the anus, leading to itching.
Pinworms: A parasitic infection from pinworms can cause severe itching near the anus, particularly at night.
Gonorrhea is often transmitted through anal sex and can be associated with anal itching. Other STIs, such as chlamydia, genital herpes, or genital warts, may also contribute to anal discomfort. However, non-STI factors are frequently the cause. If you are dealing with anal itching, it is crucial to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. You can also self-screen for anal STIs by ordering an anal swab at-home STD test from 4U Health.
Can gonorrhea cause vaginal itching?
It’s possible, but not always. Gonorrhea can cause vaginal itching, as can many other STIs. Below are some common STIs that might trigger vaginal itching as a symptom:
Trichomoniasis: Caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, this infection can result in itching, abnormal vaginal discharge (often frothy, yellow-green, or foul-smelling), and irritation during urination.
Genital herpes: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause tingling, itching, and sores or blisters in the genital area.
Chlamydia: While often symptomless, chlamydia can sometimes lead to vaginal irritation, abnormal discharge, painful urination, or discomfort during sex.
Gonorrhea: This STI caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae may produce vaginal itching, unusual discharge, and pain during urination.
Gonorrhea Symptoms in the Vagina
STIs like gonorrhea can cause a range of vaginal symptoms. However, some infections are asymptomatic. Symptoms that may occur include:
Unusual vaginal discharge: Changes in discharge color, texture, or smell, such as yellow, green, frothy, or malodorous discharge.
Vaginal irritation: Persistent discomfort or itching in the vaginal area.
Urination pain: A burning or painful sensation during urination.
Pain during intercourse: Discomfort or pain during sexual activity.
Abnormal bleeding: Spotting between periods or bleeding after sex.
Swelling or redness: Inflammation or redness of the vaginal tissues.
Pelvic pain: Discomfort or ache in the pelvic region.
It’s important to remember that other conditions, like yeast infections or allergic reactions, can also cause vaginal itching or similar symptoms.
What does gonorrhea look like in the throat?
Gonorrhea can affect the throat, particularly after oral sex, but symptoms don’t always appear. If present, common signs of throat gonorrhea include:
Throat Gonorrhea
Sore throat: Discomfort or pain in the throat that persists.
Swallowing difficulty: Pain when swallowing food or drinks.
Red or swollen throat: Inflammation or redness in the throat area.
Tonsillitis: Sore, inflamed tonsils that may feel tender.
White patches: Visible white spots or lesions on the throat or tonsils.
Hoarseness: Changes in voice, such as raspy or hoarse tones.
Cough or mucus: Frequent coughing or the production of mucus.
These symptoms can also stem from other illnesses, so testing is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. If you suspect exposure to gonorrhea, you can order a full STD panel through 4U Health.
Can gonorrhea cause a fever?
Fever can be a symptom of gonorrhea, though not everyone with the infection will experience it. A fever is a systemic response that may occur alongside other signs such as burning during urination, abnormal discharge, or urinary urgency. If you have symptoms of gonorrhea, seek prompt testing and treatment.
How long does it take for gonorrhea symptoms to appear?
The onset of gonorrhea symptoms varies based on the site of infection and other factors. Some individuals notice symptoms within a few weeks, while others may remain asymptomatic for months.
Timeline of Gonorrhea Symptoms
Symptoms often develop within two weeks of exposure, but it’s possible not to have any noticeable signs. Regular testing and practicing safe sex are key to early detection and treatment. If you think you’ve been exposed, consult a healthcare provider or consider using a self-screening gonorrhea test kit.
Gonorrhea Symptoms vs Chlamydia
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia are bacterial infections affecting similar areas, including the throat, rectum, and genital tract. Though they often present similarly, distinguishing between the two is vital because treatments differ. Physicians commonly test for both infections simultaneously, as they are frequently asymptomatic but can lead to severe health issues if left untreated. If you suspect exposure, order a urine gonorrhea and chlamydia test from 4U Health for accurate results.
