Male Basics - STD home sampling kit

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. 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 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.
