Gonorrhoea Testing in the UAE

Better2Know offers a variety of STI screens throughout the UAE that combine testing for Gonorrhoea and other common infections such as Chlamydia, HIV and Syphilis. For a thorough analysis of your sexual health we suggest the Better2Know Platinum Screen, this will give you peace of mind regarding ten potential infections. We have private sexual health clinics across several Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain.

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is a bacterial infection that can affect male and female genital tracts, as well as the anal area and the throat. It is often transmitted through unprotected sex including vaginal, anal and oral sexual contact. In the early stages of infection, there can be an absence of symptoms. However, when present, symptoms can include: painful urination, a sore throat and unusual discharge. Men can also experience symptoms such as painful or swollen testicles.

If a Gonorrhoea infection is not treated properly, it can result in further health complications. Women may suffer from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which can escalate to infertility or an ectopic pregnancy. An untreated Gonorrhoea infection in men can cause epididymitis, an inflammation of the genital tract, which can lead to scarring and the sperm ducts becoming blocked.

Testing with Better2Know

With Better2Know, you will experience an efficient and discreet patient journey. Upon arriving at our private STI clinic, you will be seen by a qualified clinician or nurse who will take your samples and send them to our certified laboratory in the UAE for fast, accurate analysis. The samples used for analysis depends on which screen or test you have selected. For Gonorrhoea, it is usually a urine or swab sample that is required. Your results will be available within five working days after your samples have arrived at our accredited laboratory.

You can keep track of your results using our secure patient login area on the Better2Know website. In addition, a member of our expert Patient Services team will contact you, unless otherwise requested, once all your results become available. Our trained advisors will provide guidance and support following the receipt of your results. They can arrange a private consultation with one of our doctors, who can provide a prescription for the medication you require, or refer you to a specialist service, if necessary.

Better2Know’s testing services adhere to the laws in the UAE and therefore, you may be asked to provide personal identification at your private appointment.
