About this test

Ureaplasma is a bacteria that can cause a sexually transmitted infection in men and women, sometimes without symptoms. This PCR test only needs a urine sample, which you collect at home and post to the lab, and the provider suggests waiting at least 14 days after a possible exposure before testing.

At £70, it is priced 52% below the £145 median across the 81 sexual health tests we track, making it one of the cheaper options in that wider category. Better2Know also offers what its listing describes as a clinic-based version of the same test for £145, for anyone who would rather have a clinician handle the sample.

It scores strongly for value for money and collection convenience, reflecting the low cost and the flexibility of testing from home. It scores lower for clinical depth, as a single-marker test, and for results and follow-up, since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a private, affordable way to check for Ureaplasma from home, whether or not you have symptoms, and can wait up to 5 working days for results. If you would rather have a clinician take the sample, Better2Know's listing also mentions a clinic-based option for £145. If you currently have symptoms, a sexual health clinic or GP may be able to test and treat you more quickly.

How it works

You collect a urine sample at home and post it to the lab; a clinic-based version of the same test is also listed at £145. The lab runs a PCR test on the sample to check for Ureaplasma, 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 Better2Know says it will prescribe treatment through its medical team if you test positive.
