About this test

This test checks whether you are immune to Hepatitis B, for example because a vaccination course or a past infection has left you protected. Better2Know says it is commonly relevant for people in professions that involve contact with blood, such as nurses and dentists, and for anyone wanting to confirm a booster has worked.

Within our Hepatitis B comparison group, this clinic-based version is priced well above the £79.25 median, and well above Better2Know's own £70 Hepatitis B Immunity Home Test Kit, which checks the same thing without needing a clinic visit. LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's Hepatitis B immunity test, at £43, is cheaper still.

The listing scores well for clarity, since it sets out the biomarker, sample type, turnaround and booking process in detail. It scores poorly on price against its peer group, and loses marks on the results side because results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you specifically need, or prefer, a clinic or home-visit appointment rather than a self-collected kit, for example if you want a professional to take the blood sample. If cost matters more than the collection method, Better2Know's own Hepatitis B Immunity Home Test Kit covers the same check for £70, and LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's version is £43.

How it works

You attend a clinic appointment, or arrange a home nurse visit, where a blood sample is drawn. The sample is sent for analysis and results are reported within 1 day of reaching the lab; you view them in Better2Know's online patient area and are notified by SMS or email. A consultation with a Better2Know doctor is available if you want to discuss the result, but results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Clearly explains who the test is for, including at-risk professions such as nurses and dentists.
  • Results are reported within 1 day of your sample reaching the lab.
  • A consultation with a Better2Know doctor is available if you want to discuss your result.
  • Home nurse visits are offered as an alternative to a clinic appointment.

Cons

  • At £160, it costs more than double Better2Know's own £70 home version of the same check.
  • No routine doctor review of your result.
  • Requires a clinic or nurse-visit blood draw rather than a simple finger-prick kit.

Our editorial score

Editorial confidence: 9.5/10

Better2Know's clinic-based Hepatitis B Immunity test checks whether a vaccination course or past infection has left you protected. At £160 it costs more than double the £70 Better2Know charges for its own at-home version of the same check, and results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 9.0/10

    The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

  • Clinical depth 7.5/10

    A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.

  • Collection convenience 6.0/10

    Requires a venous draw at a clinic; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the immunity norm of 3.

  • Results and follow-up 3.0/10

    Results are not doctor-reviewed and no consultation is included; the provider does not describe the report format.

  • Trust signals 6.5/10
