Yes. LabX tests for Mycoplasma genitalium on a urine sample, starting at $149 with the At-Home STI Panel — 10-target urine PCR. Our urine STI panel tests for Mycoplasma genitalium by PCR. This organism is difficult to grow in routine culture, so molecular testing is the standard laboratory approach.
Mycoplasma genitalium (often shortened to M. genitalium or Mgen) is a sexually transmitted bacterium. It is less well known than chlamydia or gonorrhea but can cause similar problems.
Many people with M. genitalium have no symptoms. When present, symptoms can resemble those of chlamydia or gonorrhea, such as discharge or burning when urinating. If you have symptoms, see a licensed physician — a test result is not a diagnosis.
M. genitalium can be harder to treat than some other STIs because resistance to commonly used antibiotics is increasing. A licensed clinician should choose treatment and decide whether follow-up testing is needed.
Our urine STI panel tests for Mycoplasma genitalium by PCR. This organism is difficult to grow in routine culture, so molecular testing is the standard laboratory approach. 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.
Because treatment and antibiotic resistance vary, a licensed physician is the right person to interpret a positive result and plan next steps.
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.
