Who Should Test?

Our kit is designed for sexually active partners who are curious about their genital microbiome when it comes to normal sexual health, fertility and other lifestyle changes.

What's the difference between your kit and others on the market?

  • We Test BOTH Partners

    Notice how many of these genital microbiome tests only test one partner? Us too. We've learned through science genital microbiomes are impacted by one another so it's time to test (and treat) sexually related issues as a couple.

  • More Granular Testing

    We use 16S rRNA gene sequencing which captures all DNA present in a sample.This helps us focus on a highly conserved region, allowing us to efficiently profile bacterial communities with strong accuracy and lower sequencing complexity.

  • The Anteros Score

    Coming Soon - See how your microbes stack against the anteros score designed to evaluate and quantify the risk of recurring infections. Sync your results with your partners and track progress as you both find harmony in the microbiome.

ABOUT THE TEST- Analyzed in a U.S. laboratory certified by CLIA standards, Anteros tests extract microbial DNA from vaginal and/or penile swab samples using more advanced DNA sequencing technology in comparison to cultures or PCR. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the vaginal and/or penile microbiome, detailing the relative abundance of bacteria and fungi. These insights can guide interventions based on identified pathogens and reported symptoms. 

RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION- The detection of specific bacteria by this test does not indicate a disease diagnosis. This test is intended for research use only and is not a diagnostic tool. Some identified bacteria may not be pathogenic. The Anteros Genital Microbiome Test should be used in conjunction with other clinical criteria and laboratory tests for informed patient management decisions.
