| The
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate
that 5 percent of young sexually active people are infected
with Chlamydia. That is translated to mean one out of every
twenty sexually active people in a non-monogamous relationship
may have Chlamydia. Or one in twenty girls at a college such
as UCLA or Boston University may have Chlamydia. For
only $194 dollars you'll receive a Confidential Chlamydia
/ Gonorrhea Urine Test at a National Laboratory in your area.

Just
what is Chlamydial Infection?
"Chlamydial
("kla-MID-ee-uhl") infection is a curable sexually
transmitted bacterial disease (STD), which is caused by a
bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. One can get genital
chlamydial infection during oral, vaginal, or anal sexual
contact with an infected partner. This disease can cause serious
problems in men and women, as well as in newborn babies of
infected mothers. Chlamydial infection is one of the most
widespread bacterial STDs in the United States.
Because
chlamydial infection does not make most people sick, you can
have it and not know it. Those who do have symptoms may have
an abnormal discharge (mucus or pus) from the vagina or penis
or pain while urinating. These early symptoms may be very
mild. Symptoms usually appear within one to three weeks after
being infected. Because the symptoms may be mild or not exist
at all, you might not seek care and get treated.
How
is Chlamydia picked up in non-symptomatic people?
The
United States' military tests all new recruits by a simple
urine test for Chlamydia, which uses a DNA PCR analysis. Results
usually return the next day. If you have a discharge or burning,
you do not need us to tell you something is wrong. Go to your
neighborhood physician or medical center for treatment. If
you feel you are at risk and have no symptoms, the urine test
is for you.
What
is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea
is a curable sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by
a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhea. These bacteria can
infect the genital tract, the mouth, and the rectum.
In
women, the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus) from the
birth canal is the first place of infection. Gonorrhea is
much more aggressive than Chlamydia, and usually produces
lots of pus and pain in men, though it may be silent for a
while in women. A small number of people may be infected for
several months without showing symptoms.
How
do we test for Gonorrhea? A new test that uses urine for a
DNA PCR analysis detects the bacteria. These tests are as
accurate or more so than culturing the bacteria, and many
doctors use them as does the US Military.
We
offer a combo Chlamydia - Gonorrhea test using DNA PCR on
urine samples. Results usually return in 3 to 5 days.
The
cost of the combo test panel is $194. Both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
can be treated and cured by your local physician or health
center.
