About this test

Trichomonas is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause no symptoms at all in many people, so testing is often the only way to know your status; the provider suggests waiting around 14 days after a possible exposure before testing. This kit only needs a urine sample, which you collect at home and post to the lab, making it a more private option than a clinic visit.

Better2Know also sells the identical test as a £145 clinic visit; at £85, this home kit is £60 cheaper for the same single-marker result. Against the wider market, it is also priced 41% below the £145 median we see across the 81 sexual health tests we track.

It scores well for value for money and collection convenience, reflecting the lower price and the flexibility of testing at home. It scores less well for clinical depth, since it checks a single marker, and for results and follow-up, since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard and take up to 5 working days to come back.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want to check for Trichomonas privately from home, whether or not you have symptoms, and you are comfortable waiting up to 5 working days for results. If you would prefer a clinician to take the sample, or want the reassurance of an in-person appointment, Better2Know's clinic-based Trichomonas Test covers the same marker for £145. If you have symptoms now, a sexual health clinic or GP can usually test and treat faster.

How it works

You collect a urine sample at home and post it to the lab, or have it taken during a clinic visit for £145 instead. The lab analyses the sample for Trichomonas, with results typically taking up to 5 working days. Results are uploaded to your secure online Patient Area, and you are notified by email or SMS. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, but if you test positive, Better2Know says its medical team will help arrange the right treatment.
