A clinic blood test for Hepatitis C antibodies, the proteins your body produces in response to the Hepatitis C virus. Suited to people concerned about a possible exposure after the stated incubation window.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test looks for Hepatitis C antibodies, which the body produces once it detects the virus, and Better2Know recommends waiting at least 12 days after a sexual encounter, needle-stick injury or other incident of concern before testing. A clinician takes the blood sample, in an appointment the provider says typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes.
At £145, this sits exactly at the £145 median for our Hepatitis C comparison group. Blue Horizon Medicals offers the same antibody marker for £54.25 and Medichecks for £69, both well below this price, while Better2Know's own Hepatitis C Home Test Kit covers the same check for £70 without a clinic visit. Better2Know's Instant Test, Antigen Test and Viral Load options cost more again.
It scores in the middle of the pack on price, reflecting that median position, and well on clarity thanks to the detail given on incubation timing and the booking process. It loses marks on results and follow-up because results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits people who would rather have a clinician take the sample in person than use a home kit, and who have waited the recommended 12 days since a possible exposure. If price matters more than the collection method, Blue Horizon Medicals' £54.25 antibody test or Better2Know's own £70 Hepatitis C Home Test Kit test the same marker for considerably less.
A clinician takes a blood sample during your clinic appointment, which Better2Know says typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes. The sample is sent to the lab for testing, with results reported within 1 day of arrival. You access results through Better2Know's online patient area, with notification by text, phone call or email; standard reporting does not include a doctor reviewing your results, though a consultation with Better2Know's medical team follows a positive result.
Better2Know's clinic-based Hepatitis C Antibodies test checks for antibodies at least 12 days after a possible exposure, with results back within 1 day. At £145 it sits exactly at our Hepatitis C comparison group's median price, well above Blue Horizon Medicals' £54.25 antibody test and Better2Know's own £70 home kit, though cheaper than Better2Know's antigen and viral load tests.

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