A home test checking for six sexually transmitted infections, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C, using a finger-prick blood sample plus a urine sample or vaginal swab.
6 biomarkers as listed by Forth.
This test screens for six infections in one kit: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C. It combines a finger-prick blood sample with a choice of urine sample or vaginal swab, intended for routine screening rather than testing after specific symptoms, which should be discussed with a GP or sexual health clinic.
Among the 17 tests in this comparison group, Forth's marker count (6) matches the group median exactly. On price, £129 is about 35% below the £199 median, and it undercuts both other 6-marker tests in the group, London Medical Laboratory's Male and Female Sexual Health Advanced Screens at £179 and £189. Cheaper 4-marker tests exist, such as LloydsPharmacy's kit at £59.95, but these test fewer infections.
value for money scores highly given the sizeable gap below the group median. Clinical depth scores well because the marker count matches the group's typical scope. Collection convenience scores reasonably since the test is done at home, though it requires posting the sample rather than an instant result. clarity and documentation and results and follow-up both score well because details are published and a doctor reviews the results.
This suits anyone wanting a broader STI screen covering six common infections in one kit, rather than the narrower four-infection tests. For those who only need to check chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis, Forth's own Standard STI Test Kit covers those four for £79, £50 less.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample plus a urine sample or vaginal swab at home and post them to the lab. Results are returned within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor before you see your report.
