About this test

This screen tests for three of the most common sexually transmitted infections: chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. It suits people who want a clinician to take the sample rather than collecting it themselves, for example after a new or casual partner or as part of routine testing. Better2Know notes the infections in this panel are usually treatable, and that a doctor appointment can be arranged to discuss treatment if a result comes back positive.

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, £185 is around 28% above the £145 median, and the same three infections are also available from Better2Know as an at-home kit for £89, which is the main reason this clinic version scores only moderately on value for money and lower on collection convenience than the home-kit option.

It scores well for clarity, since the listing sets out the biomarkers, sample types and turnaround clearly, and with three biomarkers it sits in the 65th percentile for clinical depth among sexual health tests generally. 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 specifically want a clinician to take your blood and urine sample rather than collecting it yourself, for example if you are not comfortable with a finger-prick kit. If a home kit would work just as well, the same three infections are available from Better2Know as an at-home kit for £89. Better2Know recommends waiting at least 14 days after the encounter you are concerned about before testing. If you have symptoms now, see a GP or sexual health clinic rather than waiting for a private test.

How it works

A clinician takes a blood and urine sample at a Better2Know clinic, which is sent to the lab for analysis; an at-home kit version of the same three infections is also available for £89. Results are typically ready within about 2 working days of the sample 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.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Clinician-taken sample, an option if you would rather avoid a finger-prick kit.
  • Covers three of the most common bacterial and blood-borne STIs in one visit.
  • Results typically ready within about 2 working days.
  • Listing clearly states the biomarkers, sample types and turnaround.

Cons

  • £96 more than the at-home kit version of the same three-infection test.
  • Priced around 28% above the £145 median for similarly sized sexual health tests we track.
  • Requires a clinic visit rather than a self-collected sample at home.
  • No doctor review of results as standard.
