About this test

This test screens for markers of HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis: infections that fertility clinics commonly ask patients to be screened for before starting IVF or other assisted reproduction treatment, partly to protect the safety of any embryos, samples and future pregnancy. The panel includes six separate markers, covering both antibodies and, for hepatitis B, a surface antigen.

There is no named comparison group for this exact test in our data, so we cannot say how it stacks up against direct peers. Measured against the wider set of similarly sized fertility tests we track, its £169 price is around 90% above the roughly £89 median.

The scores reflect this. Clinical depth scores well, with six biomarkers placing it in the upper quarter of fertility tests we track. Value for money is marked down because of the price gap against the category median. Trust signals score highly, drawing on Medichecks' Trustpilot record, its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and doctor review as standard, and results and follow-up score well too, since every result is reviewed by a doctor and turnaround is quick, at around two days.

Who is it for?

This suits women who are about to start IVF or another assisted reproduction treatment and need to provide evidence of viral screening to their fertility clinic. The two-day turnaround makes it a reasonable option if you are working to a clinic deadline.

We do not have comparable tests in our data for this specific panel, so we cannot point to a cheaper or more comprehensive alternative here. Always check with your fertility clinic exactly which markers they require before ordering, since requirements can vary between clinics.

How it works

Samples are collected by venous blood draw at a clinic, or you can arrange a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. Once the sample reaches the lab, results are typically ready within two days, and every result is reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers six viral markers in one order, useful for meeting a single clinic requirement.
  • Fast turnaround of around two days.
  • Doctor review is included with every result, at no extra cost.
  • A home nurse visit is offered as an alternative to a clinic appointment.

Cons

  • At £169, priced around 90% above the median for similarly sized fertility tests we track.
  • No at-home finger-prick option; requires a venous draw at a clinic or a home visit.
  • No comparable peer tests in our data, so value cannot be checked against named competitors.
