A 12-marker STI screen covering HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, herpes, and three other infections, using a clinic-based blood and urine sample. Suits anyone who wants an in-person appointment rather than a home kit.
12 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This screen tests for 12 infections, among them HIV and the p24 antigen, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, both hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 2, mycoplasma, trichomonas, ureaplasma and gardnerella. A clinician takes a venous blood sample and a urine sample during your appointment, rather than you collecting the sample yourself.
Better2Know's own home test kit version covers the same 12 markers for £299, £196 less, though it requires you to collect the sample yourself rather than have a clinician do it. Within the wider comparison group of ten tests, £495 matches the group median exactly, while Randox Health's Complete STI Screen covers 14 markers for £227 and LetsGetChecked's Complete 11 covers 10 for £199.
It scores well for clinical depth, with 12 markers matching the group median, and for clarity, since the listing publishes a full description, marker list, sample type and turnaround. Collection convenience scores lowest among the criteria here because it requires an in-person clinic visit with no home or nurse-visit option stated for this particular version. It also loses marks on results and follow-up, since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you would rather have a clinician take your samples in person than collect them yourself, or if a same-day clinic appointment fits your schedule better than waiting for a home kit to arrive and be posted back. If cost matters more than having a clinician present, Better2Know's own home test kit version covers the identical 12 markers for £299, a £196 saving. If you want more markers for a lower price than either Better2Know option, Randox Health's Complete STI Screen tests 14 infections for £227.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample and a urine sample at a Better2Know clinic. Samples are sent to the lab, with results typically available within three working days of arrival. Results are posted to your secure online patient area, and the fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews them as standard.
This clinic-based version of Better2Know's 12-marker STI screen costs £495, matching the £495 median for its comparison group. The same 12 markers are available as a £299 home kit, a saving of £196 if you are comfortable collecting your own sample. 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.
