A combined blood and self-swab test screening for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. Suited to women wanting a broad routine STI check rather than a basic 4-infection panel.
6 biomarkers as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
This screen tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea (by PCR self-swab), plus HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis (by blood sample), the six infections most commonly included in a broad STI check. Many of these infections cause no obvious symptoms, particularly in women, which is why routine testing rather than waiting for symptoms is the main reason to use a panel like this.
At 6 infections, this sits above the typical 4-infection screen in our STI comparison group, matching the coverage of London Medical Laboratory's own Male Sexual Health - Advanced Screen at £179. Against the £199 median across the 17 STI tests we track, £189 here is slightly below average, and cheaper 4-infection options exist too, such as Forth's Standard STI Test Kit at £79.
Clinical depth and value for money both score reasonably, reflecting the 6-infection coverage at a price just under the group median. Collection convenience is strong, with a home sample option and results back within a day. Trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report across London Medical Laboratory's range.
This suits you if you want a broader routine STI check covering 6 common infections, for example before or after starting a new relationship, rather than a basic 4-infection screen.
If you only need to check the most common 4 infections, Forth's Standard STI Test Kit is considerably cheaper at £79. If cost is less important than covering exactly the same infections as the male equivalent, London Medical Laboratory's own Male Sexual Health - Advanced Screen covers the same 6 infections for £179. Testing has no symptoms requirement, so it's worth testing even if you feel well.
Provide a blood sample and a self-swab at home (plus £3.99 postage), or attend a partner clinic (plus £35) or arrange a phlebotomist home visit. The lab tests both samples for the 6 infections, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.
This screen covers 6 of the most common sexually transmitted infections using a blood sample and a self-swab. At £189 it costs slightly less than the £199 median across the STI screens we compare it with, and covers 2 more infections than several cheaper 4-infection kits such as Forth's £79 Standard STI Test Kit. Results are reviewed by a doctor and typically returned within a day.
