Anal STD Test

Swab test for the anus
Tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea

Anal 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.

Description

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 anal swab-test analyses the presence of these infections in your anus. This is especially important for those who "receive" any kind of unprotected anal sex.

Basic Female and Male tests are offered separately. There is also a test available for Oral STDs.
