About this test

This screen checks for three common infections in one visit: syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea, using a blood sample for syphilis and a swab for the other two. Better2Know's information sets a minimum incubation period of two weeks before testing.

There is no comparison group recorded for this exact three-marker combination, so we cannot weigh it directly against equivalent screens. Against the wider pool of similarly sized sexual health tests we track, £295 is around double the typical price of £145, a substantial premium for the same-day format.

Clinical depth scores well given three markers is a reasonable spread for this style of screen, and clarity is strong given the detailed listing. value for money scores poorly given the size of the premium noted above. Results and follow-up score lower because a doctor does not review the result as standard. It's worth noting Better2Know is CQC registered with a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 775 reviews, and has been trading for 18+ years.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who wants syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea checked together in a single same-day clinic visit and is prepared to pay a premium for that speed and combination. Because there is no peer data for this exact three-marker product, we cannot point to a specific cheaper equivalent. If you only need one of these infections checked, Better2Know's single-infection Instant Gonorrhoea Test costs £185, considerably less than this combined screen.

How it works

A blood sample, usually by finger prick, is taken for the syphilis check, and a swab (from the vagina or urethra) for the chlamydia and gonorrhoea checks. Testing happens in the clinic while you wait, with Better2Know stating results are available within around 30 minutes, and you receive a signed results report on the day. A positive chlamydia or gonorrhoea result comes with a prescription at the same visit; a reactive syphilis result gets free confirmatory testing.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Checks three infections (syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea) from one clinic visit.
  • Result given on the day, in around 30 minutes, rather than sent later.
  • A positive chlamydia or gonorrhoea result comes with a same-visit prescription.
  • A reactive syphilis result includes free confirmatory testing.

Cons

  • At £295, this costs around double the typical price for similarly sized sexual health tests.
  • Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
  • Only available at select clinics in person, not as a postal home kit.

Editorial confidence: 9.0/10

Syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea are checked together here, via a blood sample and a swab, with a result given at the clinic the same day. At £295 it costs around double the typical price for similarly sized sexual health tests we track. Better2Know does not list directly comparable peer tests for this three-marker combination, so we cannot weigh the price against equivalent screens.
