Yes. LabX tests for Gonorrhea on a urine sample, starting at $149 with the At-Home STI Panel — 10-target urine PCR. Our urine STI panel tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae by PCR, which detects the organism's genetic material. A urine sample reflects the urinary and genital tract; it does not test the throat or rectum.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It spreads through vaginal, anal or oral sex and can infect the genitals, rectum and throat.
Many people with gonorrhea have no symptoms, especially early on. When symptoms occur they can include discharge, burning when urinating, or pain. Because infections can be silent, testing is the only way to know. If you have symptoms, see a licensed physician — a test result is not a diagnosis.
Untreated gonorrhea can cause complications in the reproductive system. It is treatable, but some strains have become resistant to certain antibiotics, so treatment choices should come from a licensed clinician.
Our urine STI panel tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae by PCR, which detects the organism's genetic material. A urine sample reflects the urinary and genital tract; it does not test the throat or rectum. Samples are tested at LabX Diagnostic Systems, a CLIA-certified, COLA-accredited laboratory in Tampa, Florida. Results are typically reported in 2–3 business days from receipt.
If your exposure was oral or anal, a urine test may not detect an infection at those sites, and a very recent exposure may not show up yet. A licensed physician can arrange site-specific testing or retesting if needed.
LabX STI panels do not include HIV testing. For an HIV test, ask your provider or visit gettested.cdc.gov.
A reactive result is not a diagnosis. For blood tests, the laboratory confirms a reactive screen on a second, different method before reporting it. If a result is reactive, contact a licensed clinician — this laboratory does not treat or prescribe — tell recent partners, and know that, like every clinical laboratory, LabX is required by law to report positive results for these notifiable infections to the state health department confidentially. If you are unwell, pregnant or in severe pain, seek care right away.
