About this test

The HIV and Hepatitis Screen checks for antibodies to HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in a single blood sample. A positive result on any of the three indicates infection at some point in the past, generally more than 3-4 weeks before the sample was taken; the provider notes that testing sooner than that after a specific exposure may not give a reliable result.

We do not track a group of directly comparable three-virus screens from other providers, so we cannot make a direct price comparison for this test. Against the wider set of 115 similarly sized sexual health tests we track, its £54.25 price is well below the £145 median, and three markers puts its clinical depth in the 65th percentile of that wider set.

Collection convenience is held back because it needs a venous draw at a clinic or nurse home visit rather than an at-home finger-prick. Results are reviewed by a doctor, and Blue Horizon has traded since 2009 with a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 395 reviews and lab work through UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants a single blood sample to check for the three infections most commonly associated with sexual transmission, rather than ordering separate HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C tests. It is a reasonable choice after a general risk exposure where multiple infections are a concern.

We don't have data on directly equivalent three-in-one screens from other providers to say how this compares on price or depth, so if you only need one of the three markers checked, Blue Horizon's own single-condition tests, such as HIV Screening or Hepatitis C Antibodies, may work out cheaper.

How it works

This is a blood test taken as a venous draw; there is no finger-prick option for this screen. You can arrange your own blood collection or choose a Circle Hospital, Superdrug store or nurse home visit at checkout. Once the sample reaches the lab, results across all three markers are reviewed by a doctor and are typically back within 1 day.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Checks for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C together in one blood sample.
  • At £54.25, well under the £145 median for the sexual health tests we track.
  • All three results are reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
  • Fast turnaround for a three-marker screen.

Cons

  • A venous blood draw is required; there's no at-home finger-prick version.
  • No comparison group of equivalent three-in-one screens, so relative value is harder to judge.
  • Provider warns results may be unreliable within 3-4 weeks of exposure.
