Gonorrhea is one of the most common bacterial STDs in the United States — and most people who have it don't know, because it often causes no symptoms at all. Left untreated, it can lead to serious reproductive complications including infertility. Testing is a simple urine sample, no exam required, with results delivered privately to your email in 1–2 business days.
Gonorrhea frequently causes no noticeable symptoms — especially in women. You can carry and transmit the infection for months without knowing it. Testing is the only reliable way to find out your status.
The CDC reported over 650,000 gonorrhea infections in the United States in a single year, making it the second most commonly reported bacterial STD in the country. Rates have been rising steadily since 2009.
In women, untreated gonorrhea can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and potentially permanent infertility. In men, it can cause epididymitis — a painful condition that can also affect fertility. Early treatment with antibiotics resolves the infection completely.
Having gonorrhea makes it significantly easier to both acquire and transmit HIV. If you're sexually active and haven't been tested recently, getting a gonorrhea test — alongside an HIV test — is a straightforward, high-value step for your health.
