What this test is

This test uses a urine sample to detect genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. It is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which is highly sensitive and specific. The test can identify an infection even when symptoms are not present.

What it measures

  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA — presence indicates a gonorrhea infection
  • Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA — another target that can confirm an active infection
  • Test validity controls — ensure the sample was adequate and the test worked properly

What the test involves

You provide a urine sample by urinating into a sterile cup at the lab or collection site. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have symptoms of gonorrhea, such as burning during urination or unusual discharge. It is also used for routine screening in people at higher risk or who have a partner with a known infection.

Preparation

Preparation instructions can vary, so follow the specific directions provided by the collection lab. In many cases, you may be asked to avoid urinating for a certain period before giving the sample.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as positive or negative, indicating whether the bacteria were detected. Reference ranges and reporting methods can differ between laboratories, so always discuss your results with your healthcare provider.
