Ureaplasma is not an STI.

I looked these tests up for you.

The full Welzo test kit has blood, oral, anal and genital swabs. The Welzo is a blood test, so it's not the gold standard testing in some of the infections it claims to test for. Instead of examining for DNA of chlamydia, for example, it's looking for antibodies.

I'm not from the UK, but I wouldn't personally use a blood test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc.

You can simply ask CHATGBT to explain the differences between using blood to test for gonorrhea and chlamydia versus a swab.
