About the Mycoplasma genitalium Resistance – Urine or Vaginal (Self-collect)
The Mycoplasma genitalium Resistance – Urine or Vaginal (Self-collect) is a confidential sexual health test offered at South Kensington Medical and Dental, located at 20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL — a two-minute walk from South Kensington tube station.

Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma species are small bacteria that can colonise the genital tract. Mycoplasma genitalium has been increasingly recognised as a significant sexually transmitted pathogen associated with urethritis in men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum are commonly found in the genital tract and may be associated with urethritis and reproductive complications in some individuals. Testing is performed using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), which detect the DNA of these organisms. Antibiotic resistance testing for Mycoplasma genitalium is recommended by the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) to guide appropriate treatment.
South Kensington Medical and Dental is a two-minute walk from South Kensington Underground station on the Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines. The clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 9am, with extended hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8pm, Fridays from 8am to 5pm, and weekends from 10am to 4pm. All samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory, and your visit is entirely confidential.
