A 12-marker STI screen covering HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and three other infections, using both blood and urine samples. Suits anyone wanting a broad STI check in one visit.
12 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This screen checks for 12 infections: HIV and the p24 antigen, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes 1 and 2, mycoplasma, trichomonas, ureaplasma and gardnerella. It uses a venous blood sample together with a urine sample; testing herpes from both sample types is intended to catch infections whether or not you have symptoms.
Within Better2Know's own range, the Platinum Screen at £495 tests for the identical 12 markers, so this £550 version costs £55 more for the same coverage. Randox Health's Complete STI Screen goes further still, covering 14 markers for £227, and LetsGetChecked's Complete 11 covers 10 markers for £199. Against the ten tests in this comparison group, the £550 price sits 11% above the £495 median.
The listing scores well for clinical depth, since 12 markers matches the group median exactly, and for clarity, with a full description, biomarker list, sample type and turnaround all published. It scores lower on collection convenience because it requires a clinic or nurse-visit venous draw rather than a home kit. It also loses marks on results and follow-up, since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you want a single visit that checks for the 12 most common STIs using both blood and urine samples, including herpes testing designed to pick up infections without symptoms. If you already know you want this exact set of 12 markers, Better2Know's own Platinum Screen covers the same panel for £495, £55 less. If you want more markers for less money, Randox Health's Complete STI Screen covers 14 infections for £227.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample and a urine sample at a Better2Know clinic or during a home nurse visit. Samples are sent to the lab, with results typically available within three working days of arrival. Results appear in your secure online patient area, and Better2Know's own materials say a Sexual Health Advisor will contact you once everything is ready; the fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews results as standard.
This 12-marker screen tests for the same infections as Better2Know's own £495 Platinum Screen, but costs £550, £55 more for identical coverage. Randox Health's Complete STI Screen covers 14 markers for £227, considerably less. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
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.
