About this test

This kit tests for three of the most common sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. It is aimed at people who want a general check after a new or casual partner, want reassurance, or are due routine testing. Better2Know notes these infections are usually treatable, and that a doctor appointment can be arranged to discuss treatment if a result comes back positive, or you can take results to your own GP.

There is no named comparison group for this specific test in our data, so we cannot compare it directly against competitor three-infection screens. Against the broader set of similarly sized sexual health tests we track, £89 is around 39% below the £145 median, which is the main reason it scores well on value for money. With three biomarkers, it sits in the 65th percentile for clinical depth among sexual health tests generally.

It scores well for clarity and collection convenience, since the listing sets out the biomarkers, sample types and turnaround clearly, and everything is collected at home with results back within about 2 working days; a clinic-based version is also available for £185. Trust-signal scoring reflects Better2Know's 4.2 Trustpilot rating from 775 reviews, CQC registration and 18 years of trading, while the lower results and follow-up score reflects that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a straightforward at-home check for the three most common bacterial and blood-borne STIs after a new or casual partner, without needing to attend a clinic. Better2Know recommends waiting at least 14 days after the encounter you are concerned about before testing, as testing earlier may be less accurate. If you would rather have your sample taken by a clinician, Better2Know's clinic-based Peace of Mind Screen offers the same three infections for £185. If you have symptoms now, see a GP or sexual health clinic rather than waiting for a home kit.

How it works

You collect a finger-prick blood sample and a urine sample yourself at home using the kit provided, then post them to the lab in the pre-paid envelope; a clinic-based version is also available for £185. Results are typically ready within about 2 working days of the samples reaching the lab and are provided through Better2Know's online patient area. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews results as standard, though a doctor appointment can be arranged if a result comes back positive.
