About the test

What is a chlamydia and gonorrhoea self-test?

Are you concerned that you may have contracted chlamydia or gonorrhoea? Our self-test can quickly and discreetly provide clarity. With this test, you can easily check whether you may be infected with one of these common STIs.

The test kit contains everything you need to collect a sample yourself: whether it is a urine test or a swab from the vagina, throat or anus. You will receive clear instructions that explain step by step how to do this safely and correctly. You then send the sample in the included return envelope to our certified laboratory. You will receive your result within a few days. Testing has never been this easy and reliable!

When is the best time to test for an STI?

There is always some time between the moment of infection and the moment when an STI can be reliably detected. This period is called the window period. If you test too early, the result may be negative even though you are infected.

For chlamydia and gonorrhoea, the following applies:

Chlamydia: reliably detectable from 14 days after the risk
Gonorrhoea: reliably detectable from 14 days after the risk

Therefore, wait at least two weeks after unprotected sex or possible exposure before taking the test.

Symptoms in men

Symptoms of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in men

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are STIs that often do not cause symptoms. However, if symptoms do occur, they can vary from person to person and depend on the location of the infection (penis, anus, throat).

Possible symptoms of chlamydia in men:

  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
  • Discharge from the penis (often watery or milky)
  • Pain during or after sex
  • Pain or swelling in one of the testicles

Possible symptoms of gonorrhoea in men:

  • (Pus-like) discharge from the penis (yellow, green or white in colour)
  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
  • Pain or swelling in one of the testicles
  • Pain during sex
  • In case of an anal infection: itching, irritation, mucus-like discharge, diarrhoea or a feeling of needing to pass stool
  • In case of a throat infection: sore throat, pain when swallowing and sometimes swollen lymph nodes in the neck

Do you have one or more of these symptoms? Get tested! Even without symptoms, testing is advisable if you may have been at risk. This helps prevent unknowingly passing an STI on to someone else.

Symptoms in women

Symptoms of chlamydia and gonorrhoea in women

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that often go unnoticed, especially in women. However, symptoms can occur. These vary from person to person and depend on the location of the infection (vagina, anus, throat).

Possible symptoms of chlamydia in women:

  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
  • Bleeding between periods
  • Bleeding after sex
  • Lower abdominal pain, sometimes combined with fever

  • In case of a throat infection: sore throat, pain when swallowing, swollen lymph nodes in the neck

Do you have one or more of these symptoms? Get tested! Even without symptoms, you can be infected and unknowingly pass the infection on to others. Regular testing helps protect your own health and that of your partner(s).

Biomarker summary

Everything you need to know about STIs

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that are transmitted through sexual contact. You can contract an STI through contact with the penis, vagina, anus, mouth or even fingers. Many STIs cause few or no symptoms. This allows them to go unnoticed and spread further.

Even without symptoms, STIs can have serious consequences for your health. That is why it is important to get tested if you may have been at risk. This way, you protect not only yourself but also your partner(s).

Gonorrhoea – a contagious STI that should not be underestimated

Gonorrhoea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This STI is highly contagious. Not everyone develops symptoms, but the chance is significant:

  • In men, clear symptoms occur in 9 out of 10 cases
  • In women, 40% to 70% develop symptoms

Without treatment, gonorrhoea can cause serious complications:

  • In women: pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility or an ectopic pregnancy
  • During pregnancy: risk of inflammation, premature birth or infection of the baby during delivery (which can cause eye infections and even blindness)
  • In men: inflammation of the epididymis or prostate
  • In rare cases, the infection can spread through the bloodstream, with a risk of joint inflammation, blood poisoning or meningitis

The solution: Gonorrhoea can be treated effectively with antibiotics. Test yourself if you have symptoms or think you may have been at risk.

Chlamydia – the silent threat

Chlamydia is the most common STI in the Netherlands and is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. What makes this infection particularly concerning is that it often causes no symptoms, especially in women. However, this does not make it any less serious.

Possible complications:

  • In women: infections of the uterus and fallopian tubes, with a risk of infertility or ectopic pregnancy
  • In men: inflammation of the epididymis, sometimes with fever and pain
  • In newborns: if the mother is infected, the child can become infected during childbirth, which can lead to eye infections or respiratory infections

Fortunately, chlamydia can usually be treated easily with antibiotics. If you have symptoms or think you may have been at risk, get tested even if you feel healthy.

About the test result

What does your test result mean?

If you have ordered a home test from us, you will have access to your laboratory results through a personal online dashboard. There, we clearly explain what your result means, step by step. Test results provide a snapshot in time and can be influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, medication and the timing of the sample collection. Abnormal values do not automatically mean that there is a medical condition.

What if the result is positive?

A positive result means that an STI has been detected in your test. Don’t worry, STIs can be treated effectively. We recommend taking the laboratory result to your doctor for treatment.

It is also important to inform your sexual partners so they can get tested and, if necessary, receive treatment as well. This helps prevent the STI from spreading further.

What if the result is negative?

A negative result means that no chlamydia or gonorrhoea was found in your sample. You do not need to start treatment.

When will you receive your result?

We work together with a certified laboratory. You can usually expect your result within 1 to 3 working days after sending your sample.

Frequently Asked Questions Everything about Chlamydia and gonorrhoea test

Have you recently found out that you have an STI?

It is important to inform your recent sexual partners. This helps prevent them from developing symptoms or complications, passing the infection on to others, or you becoming reinfected if you have sex with them again.

In most cases, it is advisable to inform everyone you have had sex with in the past 6 months. In some situations, it is also a good idea to notify earlier partners, for example if you have not been tested regularly and are unsure who you contracted the STI from. Discuss with your GP or the GGD who you should contact.

How do you tell your sexual partner(s)?

It can be difficult, but there are several ways to make it easier:

  • Personally, by phone or email.
  • Anonymously, through websites such as partnerwaarschuwing.nl. This allows you to let someone know that they should get tested without mentioning your name.
  • With help from a doctor or nurse, for example from your GP or the GGD.

Whichever method you choose, informing your partners is an important step. This allows them to get tested as well and receive treatment if necessary.

Consequences of untreated chlamydia:

  • Women: increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility.
  • Men: epididymitis and possible reduced fertility.
  • Both: increased risk of other STIs, chronic symptoms, and transmission to others.
  • During pregnancy: risk of premature birth or infection in the baby.

Chlamydia is treatable, but without treatment the consequences can be serious and permanent.

Chlamydia is indeed highly transmissible. Because you do not always notice symptoms of chlamydia, you can spread the infection without being aware of it.


Chlamydia is a common STI and can be successfully treated with antibiotics within one week. If you test positive for chlamydia, consult your GP for the appropriate treatment.


Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that often causes no symptoms, which is why it is also known as a “silent infection”. However, there are signs you can look out for:

In women:

  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
  • Increased or unusual vaginal discharge
  • Bleeding between periods or after sex
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Pain during sex

In men:

  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
  • White, watery, or pus-like discharge from the penis
  • Pain or swelling in the scrotum

With anal or oral sex:

  • Sometimes anal pain, discharge, or bleeding (with an anal infection)
  • Sore throat is rare (with a throat infection), usually without symptoms

When to get tested?

  • If you have symptoms
  • If you have had unprotected sex with a new or multiple partners
  • If your partner has chlamydia
  • Routinely in risk groups (e.g. under 25 and sexually active)

The sooner you know, the better, untreated chlamydia can lead to complications such as infertility.of ontstekingen.

Chlamydia can sometimes disappear on its own, but this is unpredictable and rare. In many people, the infection remains present without obvious symptoms, while it can still cause damage. It is important to know that untreated chlamydia can lead to serious complications, such as:

  • infertility (especially in women due to fallopian tube damage),
  • chronic pelvic pain,
  • inflammation of the epididymis in men.

Antibiotics treat chlamydia quickly and effectively, usually with a single dose of azithromycin or a one-week course of doxycycline.

Because it often causes no symptoms, it is important to get tested if you have been at risk (for example, unprotected sex without a condom).

In short: it can go away on its own, but waiting is risky. Get tested and treated to prevent complications.

If gonorrhoea is left untreated, it can lead to other medical complications, similar to chlamydia.

Approximately 14 days after possible exposure to gonorrhoea, a test is generally reliable for detecting the infection.

Symptoms? Then you can get tested immediately, regardless of when the contact took place.

Symptoms of gonorrhoea may include:

  • Pain when urinating
  • Discharge from the penis, vagina, or anus
  • Sore throat after oral sex (usually without symptoms)
  • Abdominal pain or bleeding between periods (in women)

The sample collection method differs depending on the test:
Whichever test you choose, we make sure the process is clear and simple.

  • For men: the chlamydia & gonorrhoea test is performed using a small urine sample.
  • For women: the chlamydia & gonorrhoea test is performed using a vaginal swab.
  • For an anal or oral test: you use a swab.

Each test kit includes a clear step-by-step guide, so you know exactly what to do.

Our chlamydia and gonorrhoea test is available in three variants:

  • Vaginal swab – for detecting an infection in the vagina
  • Urine test – suitable for testing an infection of the penis
  • Anal or oral swab – for testing an infection in the anus or throat

This way, you can easily choose the test that suits your situation.

Chlamydia and gonorrhoea can be detected in different ways.
Depending on where you may have an infection, you can choose:

  • A swab for infections in the vagina, anus, or throat
  • A urine test for infections of the penis

You can choose from different tests:

This way, you can choose the test that best suits your situation.

This test is not intended for people under 18 years old. If you are under 18 and want to get tested for STIs, please contact the GGD in your area or your GP. They can provide appropriate and confidential support.

It is also important to consider the so-called window period. This is the period between the moment of possible infection (for example, after unprotected sex) and the moment when an STI can be detected by a test. If you get tested during this period, the result may be falsely negative. In that case, it is advisable to repeat the test after the window period has passed.

This test is suitable for you if you:

  • have symptoms that may indicate an STI,
  • have been informed by an ex-partner that you may be infected with chlamydia or gonorrhoea,
  • have had sex without a condom,
  • or want to have these STIs checked for any other reason.

Please note the waiting period

After a possible infection (such as unprotected sex), it is important to consider the so-called window period. This is the time between the moment of infection and the moment when an STI becomes detectable in a test.

For chlamydia and gonorrhoea, this period is 14 days. If you take the test earlier, the STI may not yet be detectable. If you then receive a negative result, it is advisable to repeat the test after 14 days to be certain.

At the moment, STI tests are not reimbursed by your health insurance. If you get tested through the GGD and belong to a risk group, the test is free.

If you go to your GP for an STI test, this is usually charged to your deductible. How much you have to pay yourself depends on your health insurance policy. If you are unsure, contact your health insurer. In almost all cases, getting an STI test through your GP is more expensive than our STI test.

If you do not belong to a risk group or if the GGD is busy, you can still get tested through your GP or anonymously and discreetly through us. Please note that we currently do not have agreements with health insurers.

Reliable results, just like with your GP

With us, you can rely on the same quality and reliability as an STI test performed by your GP or the GGD. We work with certified laboratories that also perform tests for medical institutions. This ensures you receive an accurate, professional, and discreet result, often within just a few days.

Rapid home tests, such as those sometimes available at pharmacies, are unfortunately not always equally reliable. They can produce incorrect results, which may lead to unnecessary concerns or false reassurance. Choose certainty with a high-quality laboratory test.

For privacy reasons, our test kits do not contain any personal information. Therefore, you must first register your test using the unique 10-digit kit code before sending it to the laboratory.

This ensures that your test is correctly linked to your account. Without registration, the laboratory cannot process your test and you will not receive your results.

The biggest advantage of this STI home test is convenience: you can perform the test at home, in your own familiar environment. You do not need to visit your GP, the GGD, or another healthcare provider. Within a short time, you will receive your results together with a clear digital laboratory report. If necessary, you can easily share this report with your GP for further steps or medication.

You can test 100% anonymously, at a time that suits you best.

Yes, all our tests are completely confidential. Your GP will not receive any information about the test unless you decide to share the results yourself with your GP for further analysis or treatment.

In the Netherlands, you can get tested for STIs for free at the GGD if you are under 25 years old or belong to a risk group. If you are older than 25 and do not belong to a risk group, you can get tested through your GP or use a home test. An STI home test is a convenient way to get tested through an ISO-certified laboratory, but it does not replace the care and expertise of a doctor.

An STI home test does not include physical examinations, personal medication is not prescribed (except in certain cases within the Netherlands), and no extensive aftercare is provided. If you receive a positive result, it is important to take your results to your GP for further examination, advice, and possible treatment.

You receive your test results with a clear explanation and a digital laboratory report. With this report, you can visit your GP for further treatment.

If your test result is positive, we recommend contacting your GP or another doctor for the appropriate treatment.

Our STI self-test kits with laboratory analysis are safe and reliable. They are specifically approved for home use and carefully tested by our ISO-certified laboratory. The results from a self-collected sample are just as reliable as those from a GP, hospital, clinic, or nurse.

We only offer medical tests that have been extensively checked and validated. Each sample is analysed in a laboratory with ISO 15189 accreditation, the quality standard in the medical field. This ensures you receive an accurate and reliable result.

No, in most cases it is not. Not everyone is eligible for a free STI test at the GGD. The GGD provides free STI care to people who have an increased risk of an STI, such as young people under a certain age, men who have sex with men, sex workers, or people who have been notified by a partner. If you do not meet the GGD criteria, view and order an STI test at Labtest.nl. Check with your local GGD to see if you qualify for a free test. Please note that there may be waiting times at the GGD.
