STI Bronze – PCR Swab is a non‑blood test that uses a swab specimen to detect common sexually transmitted infections via PCR.

About this treatment
The STI Bronze – PCR Swab test employs a self‑collected or clinician‑taken swab to amplify DNA/RNA of prevalent STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, and Trichomonas using polymerase chain reaction technology. Results are typically available within 2‑3 business days, accompanied by a concise report and optional tele‑consultation to explain findings and next steps. This test is suited for sexually active individuals seeking rapid, accurate screening for common infections, with an additional £50 phlebotomy fee only applicable if a blood draw is required for other tests.
