Important testing information
48 hours prior to collecting the sample:
- Complete short-term prescribed medication e.g. antibiotics 24 hours prior to collecting the sample
- No sexual intercourse
Day of collection:
- Do not apply vaginal treatments, lotions, creams, or emollients before taking the test

Costs of PCR testing
- Female EcologiX £195.00 (about US$255)
- Female EcologiX + STI £255.00 (about US$335)
How to decide which kit to choose
If you are sure you do not have a sexually transmitted infection/have already been tested thoroughly, choose Female EcologiX.
If you have only been tested for a few or no STIs, choose the Female EcologiX + STI kit. This is really important because untreated STIs may not respond to your treatments.
To find out if you’ve been thoroughly tested for STIs, get a copy of your test results from your doctor and check.
