A same-day four-infection STI screen covering HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea from a blood and urine sample taken at a clinic or during a nurse visit.
4 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This screen checks for four sexually transmitted infections in one appointment: HIV (including the p24 antigen), syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea, using a combination of a blood sample and a urine sample.
Against the 17 tests in its comparison group, the typical panel covers six infections, so at four this one sits below the category norm for clinical depth. At £295 it is priced well above the £199 group median, and considerably more than several peers testing for the same four infections: Better2Know's own FAST TRACK Four Screen Home Test Kit costs £170, and third-party kits from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor, MyHealthChecked and Forth range from £59.95 to £79. Some peers, such as Forth's Full STI Home Test Kit and the London Medical Laboratory screens, cover six infections for less than this test's price. This combination of fewer markers and a higher price is what drives the low value for money score.
Clarity scores highly because the description, biomarker list, sample types and turnaround are all clearly set out. Collection needs a venous blood draw and a urine sample, at a clinic or during a home nurse visit, with results typically available within two days. As with other Better2Know STI tests, results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, which limits the results and follow-up score.
This suits people who want HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea checked together in one appointment, with a professional taking the samples and a fast turnaround.
If price or breadth matters more than speed, Better2Know's own FAST TRACK Four Screen Home Test Kit tests for the same four infections for £170, and cheaper kits from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor (£59.95), MyHealthChecked (£75) and Forth (£79) cover the same four. If you want a wider screen for a similar or lower price, Forth's Full STI Home Test Kit and the London Medical Laboratory Advanced Screens test for six infections from £129.
You provide a venous blood sample and a urine sample, taken at a clinic or during a home nurse visit; no swabs are needed. The samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis, with results typically available within a day of the lab receiving them. Results are reported through your online Patient Area, with notification available by phone, SMS or email. Better2Know arranges a doctor consultation if you test positive, though results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard otherwise.
This £295 screen tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea from a blood and urine sample, with results typically back within a day. It is priced well above the £199 median for standard STI screens covering four to seven infections, and above Better2Know's own FAST TRACK Four Screen Home Test Kit, which tests for the same four infections for £170. It suits people who want the sample taken by a professional and results the same day the lab receives it.
