A same-day six-infection STI screen covering HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea from a blood and urine sample taken at a clinic or during a nurse visit.
6 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This is Better2Know's widest same-day STI screen, testing for HIV (including the p24 antigen), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea from a combination of blood and urine samples.
Against the 17 tests in its comparison group, six infections is the median, so this test scores well for clinical depth. At £395, though, it costs almost double the £199 group median, and considerably more than other six-infection tests: Forth's Full STI Home Test Kit costs £129, and the London Medical Laboratory's Male and Female Sexual Health Advanced Screens cost £179 and £189 respectively for the same six markers. That price gap for comparable depth is what drives the low value for money score.
Clarity scores highly because the description, biomarker list, sample types and turnaround are set out clearly. 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 the widest range of common infections, HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea, checked in one appointment, with a professional taking the samples and results back the same day the lab receives them.
If price matters more than the same-day, clinic-based turnaround, Forth's Full STI Home Test Kit covers the same six infections for £129, and the London Medical Laboratory's Advanced Screens do the same for £179 to £189.
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 £395 screen tests for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea from a blood and urine sample, with results typically back within a day. It matches the typical six-infection depth for its group but costs almost double the £199 median, and more than six-marker peers such as Forth's Full STI Home Test Kit at £129. It suits people who want all six infections covered by a professional.
