About this test

This test checks for four infections: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis, using samples posted to the lab rather than a blood draw alone. It is aimed at people who want a broad but not exhaustive STI check, and results come back doctor-reviewed and, per Forth, in discreet packaging.

Against the 17 tests in this comparison group, which cover between four and seven infections, this test's £79 price is 60% below the £199 group median, though several of the pricier peers test for more infections. Among tests covering the same four infections, LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's 4-In-1 kit is cheaper at £59.95, and MyHealthChecked's Female and Male Sexual Health tests cost £75 each. If you want more infections covered, Forth's own Full STI Home Test Kit tests for six for £129.

value for money scores maximally here given the gap to the group median, though clinical depth is only middling since four infections sits below the six-infection median for this group. Collection convenience is good but not the highest of Forth's tests, since this uses a posted sample kit rather than the finger-prick, AutoDraw or nurse-visit choices offered elsewhere. Results are reviewed by a doctor within 2 days.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a doctor-reviewed check for the four most commonly tested infections at a reasonable price. If you specifically want the cheapest four-infection option, LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's 4-In-1 kit costs £59.95. If you want broader coverage, Forth's own Full STI Home Test Kit covers six infections for £129.

How it works

You collect your own samples at home using the kit provided and post them to Forth's lab. The lab tests for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis, and a doctor reviews your results before you see them. Results are typically available within 2 days, and Forth states the kit is delivered in discreet packaging.
