Blood test for Zika virus antibodies, intended for checking an exposure that happened more than two weeks ago. Aimed at people who are pregnant or trying to conceive after a possible mosquito bite.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test looks for antibodies to Zika virus, a mosquito-borne infection that can pass from a pregnant person to a foetus and is a particular concern for anyone pregnant or trying to conceive. The provider positions this blood test for a suspected exposure that happened more than two weeks earlier, since antibodies take time to develop; a separate urine PCR test is aimed at more recent exposure. It measures a single marker.
There is no comparison group of directly equivalent tests in our data, so we cannot check this test against named peers. Against the wider set of immunity tests we track, its £295 price is well above the typical cost for a test of this size, which drives its low value for money score.
The listing scores well for clarity, since the marker, sample type and turnaround are all clearly stated. It scores poorly for collection convenience, because it needs a venous blood draw at a clinic or via a home nurse visit, and for results and follow-up, since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits someone who thinks they may have been exposed to Zika via a mosquito bite more than two weeks ago, particularly if they are pregnant or trying for a baby and want to check their antibody status before deciding whether to continue trying. If your possible exposure was in the last week, the provider's urine PCR test is aimed at that earlier window instead.
There is no equivalent test in our data to compare this against on price or depth, so we cannot say whether it is cheaper or more thorough than alternatives elsewhere.
A clinician takes a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit, and the sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are uploaded to your online Patient Area within around 14 days and you are notified by email or SMS. The listing does not describe results as reviewed by a doctor as standard, though it states a doctor consultation is arranged if you test positive.
