A clinic blood test to check for a current Hepatitis C infection, using a single blood sample taken at your appointment. Suited to people concerned about possible exposure through blood-to-blood contact.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test uses a single blood sample to check whether you have a current Hepatitis C infection. Better2Know says appointments typically last 10 to 15 minutes, and the provider does not state an incubation period for this particular listing, unlike its Hepatitis C Antibodies and Antigen Test pages.
At £145, this sits exactly at the median for our Hepatitis C comparison group. It costs more than Blue Horizon Medicals' £54.25 test, Medichecks' £69 test and Better2Know's own £70 home kit, but less than Better2Know's Instant Test (£185), Antigen Test (£195) and Viral Load test (£495).
It scores in the middle of the group on price, matching that median position, and reasonably on clarity given the detail on the booking process and what happens at your appointment. It loses marks on results and follow-up because results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
This suits people who want a clinic appointment rather than a home kit and are not concerned about testing at a specific point after exposure. If price matters more, Better2Know's own £70 home kit or Blue Horizon Medicals' £54.25 test check for the virus at a lower cost; if timing after a specific incident matters, Better2Know's Antibodies or Antigen Test pages state incubation windows this listing does not.
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; results come without routine doctor review, though a doctor consultation follows automatically if you test positive.
Better2Know's Hepatitis C Test checks for a current infection using a single clinic blood sample, with results back within 1 day. At £145 it sits exactly at our Hepatitis C comparison group's median, above Blue Horizon Medicals' £54.25 test and Better2Know's own £70 home kit, though cheaper than its Instant, Antigen and Viral Load tests.
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.
A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.
Requires a venous draw at a clinic; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the sexual health norm of 2.
Results are not doctor-reviewed and no consultation is included; the provider does not describe the report format.

Cheapest Hepatitis C antibody test in our comparison group
This test checks for Hepatitis C antibodies, which indicate whether you have been infected with the virus. It suits anyone wanting a low-cost, at-home check after a possible exposure.
Second-cheapest hepatitis C antibody test in its group
Checks for hepatitis C antibodies to indicate whether you have ever been infected with the virus. Suits anyone concerned about possible exposure or symptoms such as unexplained liver issues.
Biggest discount to median in the Hepatitis C range
An at-home finger-prick blood test for Hepatitis C antibodies, taken from at least 12 days after a possible exposure. Suited to people who want to test without a clinic visit.
Priced exactly at the Hepatitis C group median
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.
Pricey, but the only Medichecks test measuring viral load
Measures the amount of hepatitis C virus in your blood, known as viral load, to gauge how active an infection is or track response to treatment. Suits people who have already tested positive for hepatitis C rather than those checking for first exposure.
Can be taken sooner after exposure, at a higher price
A clinic blood test for Hepatitis C antigen, which Better2Know says can be taken from around 10 days after a possible exposure. Suited to people who want to test sooner than the antibody test allows.
Instant hepatitis C result, pricier than most options
A rapid finger-prick test for hepatitis C antibodies, taken and read at a Better2Know clinic, giving a result within minutes rather than waiting for a lab-based test.
