Mycoplasma Genitalium (MG) Test
An emerging STD that's frequently missed. Mycoplasma genitalium is a common cause of stubborn urethritis and cervicitis that standard chlamydia/gonorrhea panels don't catch. 100% confidential, results usually in 1β2 business days.
Mycoplasma genitalium (often called MG or M. gen) is an increasingly recognized STD and a frequent cause of urethritis in men and cervicitis in women. It's easy to overlook because a standard chlamydia and gonorrhea test won't detect it, so if you have persistent symptoms that don't add up, this is the test to consider. No judgment, and nothing is billed to insurance.

When to Get Tested
Mycoplasma genitalium is generally detectable within about 1β3 weeks after exposure. It's especially worth testing when symptoms of urethritis or cervicitis linger despite treatment for other infections, since MG is a common hidden cause.
Understanding Your Results
Results post to your secure online account, usually in 1β2 business days, in plain English: positive or negative. MG is treatable with antibiotics, though it can be more resistant than other STDs, so a provider may tailor treatment and recommend a follow-up test to confirm it's cleared. Nothing appears on your insurance record.
