There are currently no FDA-approved at-home tests for chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, there may be a role for this kind of testing, especially if it helps someone who otherwise would not get tested. Some people find sexual health clinics inconvenient or stigmatizing, preventing them from getting the care they need.

There are some rapid chlamydia tests that can provide results in 90 minutes or less. You can also buy at-home collection kits to test for chlamydia and other STDs. With these kits, you collect a swab or urine sample at home and send it to a lab for testing. It's important to follow all the instructions carefully.
