About this test

This test checks for four infections in one visit: HIV (including the p24 antigen), hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis, all from a blood sample. It is designed for people who are at least 90 days past a possible exposure, since that is the incubation window Better2Know sets for this particular combination of markers, giving the antibodies time to develop so the result is reliable.

Because there is no comparison group recorded for this exact four-marker combination, we cannot say how it stacks up against directly equivalent tests. What we can say is that, against the wider pool of similarly sized sexual health tests we track, £395 is a significant premium: the typical price for a test of this size is closer to £172, so you are paying substantially more for the same-day format.

The scores reflect that trade-off. It does well for clinical depth, since four markers is a solid haul, and for clarity, because Better2Know publishes a clear biomarker list, sample type and collection details. It scores weakly on price for the reasons above, and only moderately on results and follow-up because a doctor does not review your result as standard. Better2Know is CQC registered, holds a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 775 reviews, and has been trading since 2008.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who wants a fast, in-person answer for four infections at once (HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis) and is prepared to pay for the same-day format rather than wait for a postal result. Because Better2Know does not list a directly comparable peer test for this exact four-marker combination in our data, we cannot point to a specific cheaper alternative for exactly this panel.

How it works

You give a blood sample at a Better2Know clinic, either from a finger prick or a standard venous draw. The sample is run in the clinic while you wait and Better2Know states results are available in under 30 minutes. A clinician gives you a signed results report at the appointment. Better2Know's own information says a doctor consultation is arranged if you test positive, rather than every result being reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers four separate infections (HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis) from one blood sample.
  • Results are given at the clinic in under 30 minutes rather than sent later.
  • A positive result gets free confirmatory lab testing rather than an extra charge.
  • You can choose a finger-prick sample instead of a full venous blood draw.

Cons

  • At £395, this is priced well above the typical price for similarly sized sexual health tests.
  • Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
  • Needs a 90-day wait since exposure, longer than the 28-day window Better2Know states for some of its other STI tests.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Four-infection blood panel with a same-day result
Editorial confidence: 9.0/10

This is a four-marker blood panel covering HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis, with a result given at the clinic on the day of testing. At £395 it sits well above the typical price for similarly sized sexual health tests we track, and Better2Know does not list a comparable peer test for this exact combination, so there's nothing directly comparable to weigh it against. The biggest catch is that results are not reviewed by a doctor 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 9.0/10

    4 biomarkers, placing it in the 75th percentile of sexual health tests we track.

  • Collection convenience 5.0/10

    Requires a visit to a clinic; results in around 0 days, well ahead of the sexual health norm of 2.

  • 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

    Trustpilot 4.2 from 775 reviews; CQC registered; trading 18+ years.

  • Value for money 2.0/10

    £395.00 against a median of £172.50 for the 64 similarly sized sexual health tests we track (+129%).
