Private Home STD Tests from Your Sexual Health

Our Home STD Testing service works exactly the same as our laboratory testing, but with one key difference in that your sample is collected by you in the comfort of your own home.

All you have to do is deposit your sample (urine, blood or swab) and post it back to our laboratory. We give you all of the equipment that you need to complete the test, including full detailed instructions and a prepaid return envelope.

Once you’ve deposited your sample, simply package it in the envelope and put it in the post box. As soon as it’s received by our laboratory we’ll begin working on your results. These will then be communicated with you on our online portal.

Some of our Home STD Tests require a blood sample to gain your results. This can be collected in the comfort of your own home and we’ll provide you with all of the equipment that you need. This includes: –

• A lancet – a sterile tool to create a small cut in the end of your finger
• Anti-bacterial hand wipes to clean the finger before and the cut after
• Plasters – to ensure the small cut heals
• A sample tube which contains a serum to preserve the blood on its way to the laboratory

All you have to do is prick your finger with the lancet and let the drops of blood collect in the lancet. This usually takes 5 – 10 minutes and full instructions are included with all test kits.

The length of time that your home STD test takes to receive your results is broken down into four sections: –

• The length of time it takes to receive your Home STD Test Kit – sent Royal Mail First Class or via our Click & Collect service the same day that your order is received.
• The length of time it takes to deposit your sample once receiving your kit
• The time it takes for the sample to be received by the laboratory once posted to us in the Royal Mail 1st Class Envelope
• The time it takes to process your results, details of which can be seen on displayed on the Test Cards above as “Turnaround Time”

Overall it usually takes 3 days for your sample to be sent out and then returned to the laboratory. We’ll communicate your results through our online portal as soon as we have them.

In the case where your home STD test returns positive results, you’ll be contacted by telephone. We will also arrange a free telephone consultation with a GP from our partner medical organisation to discuss your results.

This telephone appointment will allow you to ask any questions you require about the STD to help put your mind at ease. A prescription can also be arranged if necessary so that you can get the treatment that you require in a timely manner.

Although no medical test is 100% accurate, we use one of the leading laboratories in the country to deliver the results for all of our home STD tests.

Laboratory tests are seen as far more trustworthy and accurate when compared to a number of alternatives which claim to offer instant results and can be carried out by the patient.

All of our tests and the equipment provided to deposit your sample is CE Approved and meets all medical guidelines for testing in the UK and EU.

We understand that some customers would prefer not to have their STD test kit delivered to their home. That is why we offer a Royal Mail Click & Drop collection service.

For £5.46, you can have your Home STD Test Kit delivered to your chosen Post Office collection point instead of your home address. Once it is ready to collect, Royal Mail will notify you, and you will simply need to bring ID when collecting your kit.

All of our test kits are sent in plain, discreet packaging for added privacy.

We understand that discretion is important when ordering a Home STD Test Kit to your home, workplace, or chosen collection point. That is why all of our kits are sent in plain, discreet packaging with no branding and no mention of sexual health. No one will know what is inside the package other than you.

We are committed to providing a discreet and confidential service from the moment you place your order through to receiving your results and any follow-up support you may need.
