Get fast, highly accurate STI screening with our needle-free urine test—no blood draw required. Using advanced PCR technology, this test detects seven common STIs with quick results and minimal discomfort.

Important Note: To ensure the most accurate test results, patients must provide a first morning urine sample or ensure there has been at least a 4-hour interval since their last urination before collecting the sample. This helps to maximise the concentration of any infectious material in the urine, ensuring reliable testing outcomes.
If you are unable to meet this requirement at the time of your visit, please speak to a staff member about taking a collection kit home for later use. We offer free and convenient collection of at home samples.
