What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing rectal discomfort, discharge, itching, or pain, or if you've had receptive anal sex without a barrier method. It checks for chlamydia and gonorrhea infections in the anal/rectal canal, which can occur even without obvious symptoms. Many people with rectal infections have no symptoms at all, so testing is a smart way to catch problems early and avoid passing an infection to a partner.

What's included in this test?

This single test screens for two of the most common bacteria that cause rectal infections in sexually active people. Detecting both organisms together matters because they often occur alongside each other and can cause similar symptoms, so testing for both gives a more complete picture with one sample.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a positive or negative result means. If your result is positive, the next step is usually to seek treatment quickly and avoid sexual contact until you're cleared, since untreated infections can lead to more serious health problems. A downloadable lab report is available in your account for your records, and you can use the trends feature to keep track of your testing history over time. If your result is negative but you still have symptoms, retesting after any new exposure is a good idea.

How can I naturally support rectal and sexual health?

While natural remedies can't cure a bacterial infection like chlamydia or gonorrhea, you can support your overall health by staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and keeping your immune system strong with adequate sleep. Using barrier protection during any type of sex greatly lowers your risk of infection or reinfection. Good hygiene practices around the anal area can also help reduce irritation and discomfort while you wait for results.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is processed at the lab. You'll be notified as soon as your results are available in your secure online account, so there's no need to call or wait for a phone update.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who has had receptive anal sex, especially without a condom or other barrier, should consider this test. It's also a good idea if you have a new or multiple sexual partners, have been notified that a partner tested positive, or are experiencing rectal symptoms like discharge, pain, or bleeding. Routine screening is recommended even without symptoms if you're sexually active in ways that put you at risk.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include rectal pain, discharge, itching, bleeding, or a feeling of needing to have a bowel movement even when you don't. However, many rectal infections cause no symptoms at all, which is why testing based on exposure history is just as important as testing based on symptoms. If you notice any unusual discomfort in that area after sexual activity, it's worth getting checked.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means the bacteria for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea were found in your rectal sample, indicating an active infection. This is treatable, and taking action quickly helps prevent complications and lowers the chance of spreading it to others. It's important to avoid sexual contact until the infection has cleared and to let recent partners know so they can get tested too.

How often should I retest?

If you're sexually active with new or multiple partners, testing every 3 to 6 months is a reasonable routine schedule. You should also retest anytime you have a new potential exposure, notice new symptoms, or are notified that a partner has tested positive. After treatment for a positive result, a follow-up test a few months later can confirm the infection has cleared.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your result comes back positive, seek treatment as soon as possible since both infections are treatable with the right medication. Avoid any sexual activity until you've completed treatment and enough time has passed to clear the infection. Let any recent partners know so they can also get tested, and consider a follow-up retest to confirm the infection is gone.
