About this test

This screen combines four blood-borne infection tests, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis, in one instant, same-visit format using finger-prick or venous blood samples. Any reactive result triggers a free confirmatory laboratory test from a further blood sample.

There's no curated group of directly comparable four-infection instant screens in our data, so we can't name specific competitors, but our formula places its £395 price 129% above the typical similarly sized sexual health test, at £172.50. With four biomarkers, it sits well above most sexual health tests we track for clinical depth.

Clinical depth and clarity both score well, reflecting the multiple markers and a fully described process. value for money scores very low given that substantial premium, and results and follow-up scores only moderately because there's no doctor review of the instant results as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who wants same-visit results across four blood-borne infections in a single appointment, and who is not put off by a significant price premium for that convenience.

Because there's no named peer comparison in our data, it's worth checking Better2Know's own broader Instant Eight Screen (£595), which adds Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and both herpes types, or shopping around other providers' STI panels before booking.

How it works

At a selected clinic, a clinician takes a finger-prick or venous blood sample and runs it on-site as an instant test for all four infections. Results are available within about 30 minutes, with a signed report provided; any reactive result is followed up with a free confirmatory sample sent to the laboratory. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews the initial instant results before you see them.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers four blood-borne infections in one same-visit appointment.
  • Free confirmatory lab test included for any reactive result.
  • Finger-prick option avoids a full venous blood draw.

Cons

  • At £395, priced 129% above the typical similarly sized sexual health test in our data.
  • No curated peer group for this specific test, so direct price comparisons aren't available.
  • No doctor review of the initial instant results as standard.
