A 12-marker STI screen you complete at home with a finger-prick blood sample and a urine sample, covering HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes and three other infections. Suits anyone who wants full coverage without a clinic visit.
12 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This kit tests for 12 infections, including HIV and the p24 antigen, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 2, mycoplasma, trichomonas, ureaplasma and gardnerella, using a finger-prick blood sample and a urine sample you collect at home and post to the lab.
Within Better2Know's own range, this is the cheapest version that covers all 12 markers: the clinic-based Platinum Screen costs £495 and the Early Platinum Screen Nurse Kit costs £349 for identical coverage. Against the wider comparison group, £299 sits 40% below the £495 median. Randox Health's Complete STI Screen goes further, covering 14 markers for £227, and LetsGetChecked's Complete 11 covers 10 markers for £199.
It scores highest of Better2Know's STI screens in our data, helped by strong scores for clinical depth, since 12 markers matches the group median, and for value for money, given how far below the group median it is priced. Collection is also convenient, since you can do it entirely at home, with a venous clinic option available too. As with the rest of the range, it loses marks on results and follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you want the same 12-marker coverage as Better2Know's pricier options but would rather test at home and keep the cost down. If you want the lowest price for the deepest coverage overall, Randox Health's Complete STI Screen tests 14 markers for £227, cheaper than this kit and with more markers. If you would prefer a clinician to take your samples in person, the clinic-based Platinum Screen version costs £495 for the same 12 markers.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample and a urine sample at home and post them to the lab, or choose the clinic-based version for £495 instead. Results are typically available within three working days of the lab receiving your sample, shown in your secure online patient area. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews results as standard.
This home kit tests for the same 12 infections as Better2Know's clinic-based Platinum Screen, but costs £299 against a comparison-group median of £495. It is the cheapest Better2Know option that covers all 12 markers, though Randox Health's Complete STI Screen covers 14 markers for £227, less money and more coverage. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
