About this test

This test screens a urine sample for 9 common sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, gonorrhoea and herpes types I and II. It is aimed at people who want a broad screen, including for infections that can be present without symptoms.

With 9 biomarkers, it has the most clinical depth of any sexual health test we track. It also scores at the top for value for money, priced at £72 against a £272 median for similarly sized sexual health tests, though we do not have named peer tests in our data to check that gap against a specific alternative.

Collection convenience is solid since the whole process is done at home, though it loses some marks because results take around 7 days and there are specific rules on when you can send the sample back. It scores lower for results and follow-up, as it is not doctor-reviewed as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone wanting a broad, private STI screen from home, particularly if cost is a factor, since it is priced well below typical sexual health test prices. The provider recommends waiting 14 days after a possible exposure before testing, and sample collection is only accepted Monday to Thursday, so plan around that. If you have symptoms now, see a GP or sexual health clinic rather than waiting for a home test window.

How it works

You collect a urine sample at home, following the provider's rules on collection days, then post it back the same day using the prepaid envelope. The lab tests it for 9 STIs, with results available within 7 working days of receipt. The provider does not state that a doctor reviews the results as standard.
