Male Basics STD Test
- Urine test
- Tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea
- Important if you have vaginal sex, receive oral sex or give anal sex
Male Basics is a certified lab test, especially packaged and designed for home sampling. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) that you contracted more than 14 days ago are discovered.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea (also known as the Clap or Tripper) are the most common severe sexually transmitted diseases. They often come without noticeable symptoms, but affect e.g. fertility and unborn babies. People with an active sex life easily spread them. The use of condoms is not a guarantee to be clean.
This urine-test analyses the presence of these infections in your urethra. The urethra is the tube that runs from your bladder through your penis. This is the highest risk zone, as the penis is often exposed during sex.
Oral and anal tests are offered separately. There is also a dedicated test available for your female partner.
Delivery
Your test is packaged discreetly in a plain envelope, that fits into your mailbox. When you order multiple tests, they arrive each in their own envelope. Order before 17:30 and get your test delivered home with Swiss A-Post the next day (except Sundays and public holidays).
