HOME BLOOD TEST KIT – INFECTION PROFILE 1
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are the two most common STIs.

CHLAMYDIA
Chlamydia is an infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia can be contracted through sexual contact and generally shows no symptoms. Check with a home blood test kit for Chlamydia
-
GONORRHOEA
Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is transmitted through sexual contact and most commonly causes a yellowish discharge in men and is asymptomatic in women. Check for Gonorrhoea with a home blood test kit.
WHEN TO TAKE A HOME BLOOD TEST
STIs can take a period of time to become detectable. This is called the window period. You should wait at least 2 weeks from the time of potential exposure to infection before taking this test.
