About this test

This test screens for four blood-borne infections: HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Syphilis, using a single blood sample. These are the kinds of infections the provider suggests testing for after unprotected sex or shared needle use, since catching them early can widen your treatment options.

With four biomarkers, it sits in the upper range for clinical depth among the sexual health tests we track. It scores well for value for money, priced well below the median cost of similarly sized sexual health tests, though there are no directly named peer tests in our data to compare it against individually.

It scores lower on results and follow-up, since results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, and on collection convenience because it needs a venous draw at a clinic. Trust signals are strong, reflecting Randox's Trustpilot rating and lab accreditation.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants a discreet, clinic-based check for the main blood-borne STIs after a higher-risk exposure, such as unprotected sex or shared needle use. We do not have directly comparable named tests in our data to say whether a cheaper or deeper alternative exists. If you have symptoms, seek advice from a GP or sexual health clinic rather than relying on a screen alone.

How it works

A blood sample is taken by venous draw at a Randox clinic. Results are available within 2 working days of the sample reaching the lab. The provider does not state that a doctor reviews the results as standard.
