CoupleKEY

Break the Cycle of Recurrent Infections with a Dual Testing Solution for Couples 

Your urinary and reproductive health is deeply connected to your intimate partner's. What affects one of you may be quietly affecting both, even if only one shows symptoms. Partnershared infections often act like recurring STIs: they fade with treatment, only to return via reinfection from an undiagnosed partner.

The result?

A persistent cycle of misdiagnosis, treatment, reinfection, and frustration.

CouplesKEY by MicroGenDX brings clarity to both sides of the relationship. This at-home testing bundle includes two kits to help you uncover the root cause of infection, addressing the full picture of your shared health.

Whether you're managing symptoms, dealing with recurring infections, or simply want clearer answers together, CouplesKEY delivers the precise insights you both need for better intimacy and to move forward in sync.

Designed for all intimate partnerships:

• Male + Female
• Male + Male
• Female + Female
  

In one simple step, both partners can test together, get answers, and stop the cycle of mystery symptoms and mismatched treatments. All combinations are available under CouplesKEY, supporting couples who want shared clarity and personalized care.

Say hello to clinical clarity with CouplesKEY’s qPCR + NGS testing!

Why Choose CouplesKEY?

1. Comprehensive Pathogen Detection
CouplesKEY identifies over 60,000 bacteria and fungi that can disrupt urinary and reproductive health – thanks to our signature Next-Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) technology. NGS delivers a clear, high-resolution picture of each partner’s microbial landscape to support well-informed diagnoses by helping your provider pinpoint exactly what microbe is driving an infection. Verified by the independent College of American Pathologists (CAP), MicroGenDX’s NGS testing is 99.2% accurate, making it one of the most advanced and trusted molecular testing methods available.

2. Profiling Antimicrobial Resistance
Unlike most tests which don't screen for drug resistance, CouplesKEY uses qPCR to detect 17 common antibiotic resistance genes that can make standard treatments ineffective. By screening for these resistance markers, your provider can prescribe the most appropriate antibiotics for your infection from the start – saving you both the time, money, and stress of a trial-and-error approach to care.

3. AI Microbe Evaluation
Powered by AI and the latest scientific research, the Urine Pathogenicity Report enhances your provider’s insight into your condition by algorithmically categorizing each microbe in your urine sample as:

• Commensal (C): A microbe that plays a neutral or helpful role in the urinary microbiome.
• Pathogen (P): A microbe that may be harming the urinary microbiome.
• Unknown (U): A microbe whose impact on the urinary microbiome is unknown.

This report offers your provider deeper clarity into what the current scientific literature says about each microbe’s potential impact on the urinary microbiome. It’s a helpful starting point for diagnostic and patient care decisions, but your provider will make decisions based on their judgement and your medical history.

The Urine Pathogenicity Report produces the most accurate results for patients who are not immunocompromised, as it does not account for the effects of weakened immune system conditions.

4. Rapid Results in One Report

You’ll receive both your qPCR and NGS results in a single report, returned 24 hours after your sample reaches the lab. Your report will outline any detected antibiotic resistance genes, the microbes found, how much of each is present, and a list of antibiotics your provider can consider for treatment.

5. Convenient Patient Experience

Each test kit is mailed straight to your doorstep. Collect your sample in the comfort and privacy of your home with our easy-to-follow instructions. Then send the kit back using the included prepaid overnight shipping.

6. Additional Health Screening

Want a deeper look into your health?

Add the Urine Analysis to check for signs of infection through pH and leukocyte esterase levels or include the Full STI Panel to screen for common STIs like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas, and Mycoplasma genitalium.
