What is the Sexual Health Profile I – Male?
The Sexual Health Profile I is a targeted screening test designed to detect common sexually transmitted infections and bacterial pathogens affecting male urogenital health. By combining a genital swab culture with a sensitive first-catch urine PCR test, this profile identifies major STIs and localized microbes, providing essential information for prompt and effective treatment.
Chlamydia & Gonorrhea PCR
Advanced molecular testing detects:
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Trichomonas vaginalis parasite
- High sensitivity DNA screening
Genital Swab Culture
Culture analysis identifies non-STI causes:
- Candida spp. (Yeast/balanitis)
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS)
- Localized mucosal pathogens
Symptom Investigation
The panel effectively evaluates:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Unusual penile discharge
- Genital irritation or discomfort
- Asymptomatic exposure screening
Component Index
What Is Included in Profile I (Male)?
This targeted male profile utilizes dual sample collection—a genital swab and a first-catch urine sample—to look for both prevalent bacterial STIs and common urogenital microorganisms.
1. Male Genital Swab Culture
This laboratory culture identifies various bacteria and fungi that may be causing localized inflammation or infections in the male urogenital tract:
- Candida spp.: Identifies yeast overgrowth that can cause balanitis.
- Staphylococcus aureus & GBS: Checks for common bacterial pathogens leading to skin or mucosal irritation.
2. Targeted STI PCR Panel (Urine / Swab)
Using highly sensitive molecular methods, this component detects major sexually transmitted pathogens:
- Chlamydia trachomatis: Screens via a first-catch urine sample for one of the most widespread bacterial STIs.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae & Trichomonas vaginalis: Detects gonorrhea and trichomoniasis with high molecular accuracy.
Special Urine Collection Instructions
A first-catch urine sample is required for the chlamydia and STI PCR testing. Please make sure you do not urinate for at least 1 to 2 hours prior to providing your urine sample at the clinic to ensure optimal pathogen concentration.
When Should You Take This Test?
This profile is recommended for men who are sexually active, have had unprotected sex or new partners, or are experiencing symptoms like pain, discharge, or irritation in the genital area. For more information on male sexual health, read the official NHS guide on STIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this test require a blood sample?
No, the Sexual Health Profile I – Male is conducted using a genital swab and a first-catch urine sample. There is no phlebotomy (blood draw) fee attached to this test.
How should I prepare for the urine sample?
You should hold your urine for at least 1 to 2 hours prior to providing your sample at the clinic. Do not urinate right before your appointment to ensure optimal pathogen detection.
How quickly will I get my results?
Because the bacterial culture takes time to grow in the laboratory, the complete turnaround time for this profile is 7 days.
What is the difference between a culture and a PCR test?
A culture grows bacteria/fungi on a dish to detect yeast and other microbes. A PCR test looks for the specific DNA of pathogens like Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, providing high molecular sensitivity.
What should I do if a result is positive?
If any STI, yeast, or bacterial infection is detected, we highly recommend booking a GP consultation. Most infections identified in this profile are entirely curable with a short course of targeted medication.

Most Searched Online Questions About Male STI Testing
Can men get yeast infections?
Yes. Candida can affect men, leading to balanitis (inflammation and itching of the head of the penis). Our genital swab culture specifically checks for this.
What are the common symptoms of Chlamydia in men?
Common symptoms include pain or a burning sensation when urinating, unusual discharge from the penis, or mild testicular discomfort. However, many men have no symptoms at all.
Should I get tested if I have no symptoms?
Yes. Many common STIs like Chlamydia are frequently asymptomatic in men, making routine screening essential if you have changing partners or engage in unprotected sex.
