description

Why you need it:

It covers crucial biomarkers like Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Hepatitis B and C, HIV antibodies, and Syphilis. Regular testing is essential as certain STIs may not present symptoms initially but can lead to severe health issues if untreated.
Some STIs may take up to three weeks to show positive results after exposure. This test allows for early detection, offering the advantage of timely intervention and treatment.
Results are typically available within two days after the sample reaches the laboratory. The convenience of home testing reduces barriers to regular screening, promoting proactive and responsible sexual health management.

Why we love it:

We appreciate the test's inclusivity, covering a broad spectrum of common STIs.
The home-based nature of this test adds to its appeal. It allows individuals to discreetly and conveniently monitor their sexual health without the need for clinic visits. The quick turnaround time for results, typically within two days, contributes to a stress-free testing experience.
The test not only identifies the presence of infections but also provides educational information about each STI. This empowers individuals with knowledge about the specific infections, potential risks, and the importance of early detection and treatment.

What is it (and why):

This blood and vaginal swab test is designed for a thorough examination of sexual health, covering a range of STIs. It includes biomarkers that detect infections such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and Syphilis.
Early detection is crucial for prompt intervention and prevention of complications, making this test a proactive tool for sexual health management.
Beyond testing, the inclusion of information about each STI, including their nature and potential consequences, transforms the test into an educational resource. This additional context enhances individuals' understanding of their sexual health status and encourages informed decision-making.

Frequently asked

How common is chlamydia/gonorrhoea?

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the UK followed by Gonorrhoea. You can have this infection without any symptoms at all so it is important to get regularly checked.

Am I at risk of chlamydia?

Anyone who has sex can get chlamydia through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Sexually active younger people are at a higher risk of getting chlamydia.

Do I have to fast for my test?

If you are having cholesterol tests as part of your profile you may want to fast for 8 hours prior to your test - particularly if you have had a previous high level. It is not essential though, as your results will still give useful health information whether you have fasted or not. Fasting entails not eating or drinking anything except for water.
You do not need to fast for all other tests.

Do I need to prepare for my test in any way?

If you take blood thinning medication please tell the phlebotomist before your test.
Please drink water and keep hydrated before your appointment.

How do I finger prick sample myself?

Your test kit contains easy to follow instructions on how to take your own finger blood sample.

when will i get my results?

You will receive your results on the day after London Medical Laboratory receive your sample in their laboratory. They run a 24/7 laboratory operation and test all samples as quickly as possible after receiving them which enables their team of in-house GPs to review and communicate your results in the fastest possible time frame. If you need your results urgently they would recommend booking an in-store appointment or a mobile phlebotomist as this will guarantee your sample reaches the laboratory that same day. For the return of postal kits they use the Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked service which normally delivers on the next working day (Monday-Friday) however as with any postal service there is the possibility of delays. In the unlikely event that your sample requires retesting, this may delay the delivery of your result.
