A blood test for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies, a very common virus that most people are exposed to at some point. Useful if you are planning a pregnancy, have a weakened immune system, or have had symptoms that could suggest a CMV infection.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Cytomegalovirus is a common virus that most people carry without ever knowing it, though it can cause serious problems for pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. This test checks for CMV antibodies from a single blood sample, which can indicate past or current infection.
There is no reliable comparison group recorded for this listing, so we have not made a price or depth comparison against similar tests. On its own merits, it scores well for clarity, since Better2Know publishes a full description, the biomarker, the sample type and a stated turnaround, and its single marker measures exactly what it sets out to. It loses marks on results and follow-up, because your result is not routinely reviewed by a doctor unless it comes back positive, at which point a consultation is arranged.
Better2Know's trust signals include a Trustpilot rating of 4.2 from 775 reviews and CQC registration, and the company has been trading since 2008.
This suits anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to Cytomegalovirus, including people planning a pregnancy or with a weakened immune system who want to know their CMV status. If you have symptoms such as fever, sore throat or fatigue, a GP can advise whether this or a broader panel is the right next step.
There are no comparable tests recorded for this listing, so we cannot say whether another provider offers the same marker for less.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic and sends it to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within about a day of the sample arriving and are uploaded to your secure online patient area, with email or SMS notification when they are ready. If your result is positive, Better2Know arranges a consultation with a doctor; results are not otherwise reviewed by a doctor as standard.
