About this test

Trichomonas is a sexually transmitted infection that frequently has no symptoms, so testing is often the only way to find out your status. This version requires a urine sample given during a visit to a Better2Know clinic, with a clinician on hand if you have questions about the process.

At £145, it sits right at the £145 median for the 81 sexual health tests we track, so it is neither expensive nor a bargain by that measure. Better2Know's own home kit tests for the same marker for £85, so the £60 premium here buys a supervised, in-clinic sample collection rather than any extra biomarkers.

It scores mid-table for value for money, since it matches the wider market median rather than beating or lagging it, and for clinical depth, since it is a single-marker test. It scores lower for results and follow-up, because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, and take up to 5 working days.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you would rather have a clinician collect your sample in person than manage an at-home kit yourself, or if you want the option to ask questions face to face during your appointment. If cost matters more than the in-person visit, Better2Know's own home test kit checks the same single marker for £85. If you have symptoms now, contacting a sexual health clinic or GP directly may get you faster results and treatment.

How it works

At your appointment, staff show you to a private bathroom to collect your own urine sample, which is then sent to the lab for analysis; results typically take up to 5 working days. Results are uploaded to your secure online Patient Area, and you are notified by email or SMS when they are ready. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, but Better2Know says its medical team will help arrange treatment if you test positive.

Our editorial score

Editorial confidence: 9.0/10

This clinic visit checks for Trichomonas from a urine sample taken by Better2Know staff, priced at £145, exactly the median for the 81 sexual health tests we track. Better2Know's own home test kit checks the same single marker for £85, so this option mainly buys you an in-person appointment rather than extra clinical depth.
