Components of Mycoplasma Genitalium Testing
✔ Confidential Consultation & Symptom Review – A private discussion about your specific urinary or urethral symptoms, sexual history, and any previous infection diagnoses, especially if you have persistent or recurrent urethritis.
✔ Exclusion of Other Common STIs – Initial assessment often includes testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, as Mycoplasma genitalium is frequently considered when these more common infections are ruled out.
✔ Sample Collection (First-Catch Urine or Urethral Swab) – * First-Catch Urine Sample: Often preferred as it's non-invasive and effective for detecting Mycoplasma genitalium in the urethra. * Urethral Swab: May be collected if a urine sample is inconclusive or if specific urethral inflammation is suspected. ✔ Molecular Testing (NAAT) – Samples are analyzed using highly sensitive Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs), which detect the genetic material of Mycoplasma genitalium. Testing for antibiotic resistance markers may also be performed.
✔ Reliable Results – We strive to provide your test results efficiently, allowing for timely decision-making regarding treatment, which is crucial due to potential antibiotic resistance.
✔ Post-Test Counseling (If Positive and Clinically Indicated) – If your test result is positive and linked to your symptoms, we provide counseling on: * Antibiotic Treatment: Specific antibiotics (e.g., moxifloxacin, azithromycin) are prescribed, often with careful consideration for potential drug resistance patterns. * Abstinence During Treatment: Guidance on avoiding sexual activity during the treatment period and until test-of-cure to prevent transmission and reinfection. * Partner Evaluation: Discussion about the critical need for sexual partners to also be evaluated, tested, and potentially treated, given the asymptomatic nature and potential for onward transmission.
✔ Prevention Counseling – Advice on safe sexual practices and regular check-ups to maintain urogenital health and prevent future infections.
