About this test

This screen tests a single urine sample for 9 infections: gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes simplex I and II, mycoplasma genitalium, mycoplasma hominis, trichomonas vaginalis and ureaplasma urealyticum. The provider recommends waiting at least 14 days after a possible exposure before testing, since infections can take time to become detectable, and notes that some infections may not always show up in urine alone, suggesting an additional swab for fuller coverage.

There is no formal comparison group set up for this test, but against the 40 similarly sized sexual health tests we track, it is priced well below the £272 median. For broader coverage from the same provider, Randox's own Complete STI Screen tests 14 infections, including HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis, for £227.

The scores reflect a fast, well-documented, keenly priced test with some coverage gaps. Clinical depth places it in the 92nd percentile of sexual health tests we track for its 9 markers. Value for money is very strong given the price gap against the wider benchmark. Collection convenience benefits from a fast 2-day turnaround from a simple urine sample. Results and follow-up scores lower since results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits people with mild or no symptoms who want routine, low-cost peace of mind, particularly after a new partner or a recent sexual encounter. It is not designed to cover blood-borne infections: if you want HIV and hepatitis screening included, Randox's own Complete STI Screen covers 14 infections for £227. If you have more pronounced symptoms, or infections outside the urinary tract are a concern, the provider suggests adding a swab test rather than relying on urine alone, and seeing a GP or sexual health clinic is a sensible first step.

How it works

You provide a urine sample at a Randox Health clinic, having waited at least 2 hours since you last urinated. The sample is sent to the lab and results are available within 2 days of arrival, though they are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Screens for 9 infections from a single urine sample, with no swabs required
  • Results in around 2 days from the sample reaching the lab
  • Priced well below the typical cost of similarly sized sexual health screens we track
  • Covers both herpes strains alongside more commonly tested infections

Cons

  • Urine only, so infections better detected by swab may be missed unless you add one on
  • Not reviewed by a doctor as standard
  • No HIV or hepatitis screening; Randox's own Complete STI Screen covers those for £227
  • Provider advises waiting at least 14 days after exposure, so it is not suited to same-day reassurance
