What Is an At-Home Gonorrhea Test?

An at-home gonorrhea test uses a urine sample you collect at home and mail to a CLIA-certified lab. The lab uses nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) — the same gold-standard method used in clinics — to detect the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Results are posted to your secure online account in approximately 5 days.

Gonorrhea and chlamydia are routinely bundled together in at-home panels because they frequently co-occur and both use the same urine collection. Every myLAB Box panel includes gonorrhea and chlamydia testing together at no additional cost.

If you’ve had oral or anal sex, standard urine collection only screens for genital gonorrhea. The Total Box includes throat and rectal gonorrhea testing via swab — important for complete screening if you have sex at multiple sites.

How At-Home Gonorrhea Test Works

Four steps from order to results — no clinic required.

Order Your Kit

Choose a panel that includes gonorrhea. Your kit ships in plain, unmarked packaging — nothing on the outside identifies the contents.

Collect Your Sample

Provide a first-catch urine sample using the collection cup included. The process takes about 2 minutes and requires no swab for genital testing.

Mail It Back

Drop your sample in the prepaid return envelope and leave it for your mail carrier or drop it at any USPS location.

Get Your Results

Results are posted to your secure account in approximately 5 days. You’ll get a notification when they’re ready.

When Should You Test After Exposure?

Gonorrhea has a typical window period of 1–2 weeks after exposure. Testing too soon may produce a false negative. If you test negative within that window, retest after 2 weeks to confirm.
