About this test

This screen tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea from a self- or clinician-collected swab, using an instant, same-visit method rather than sending the sample to a lab. Results are available in under 30 minutes, and Better2Know can prescribe treatment directly if either result is positive.

At £195, it costs 34% more than the £145 median across this comparison group, and it's considerably more than Better2Know's own home kit versions covering the same two markers, which cost £45 each for throat, urine or vaginal swab options, or its standard clinic-based test at £145.

Clinical depth scores well since two biomarkers matches the typical size for this comparison group. value for money scores lower given the premium over cheaper alternatives, and results and follow-up scores only moderately because there's no doctor review of the result as standard, aside from the treatment consultation offered if you test positive.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who wants a same-visit Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea result and on-the-spot treatment if needed, rather than waiting for a lab turnaround.

If cost matters more than speed, Better2Know's own home kit versions of the same test cost £45, and its standard clinic-based Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea test is £145, both cheaper than this instant option.

How it works

At the clinic, a nurse or clinician collects a swab sample (self-swab is offered) and runs it on-site rather than sending it to the lab. Results are available in under 30 minutes, and you're given a signed pathology report to keep. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews the result before you see it, though treatment is prescribed on the spot if either result is positive.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Result and, if needed, treatment both available in a single clinic visit.
  • Two-biomarker coverage matches the typical size for this comparison group.
  • Self-swab option offered if you'd rather not have the sample taken for you.

  • At £195, costs 34% more than the £145 median for this comparison group.
  • Considerably pricier than Better2Know's own £45 home kit versions of the same two markers.
