Who is this test for?

This test is for anyone who has had unprotected sex with someone and is particularly concerned about the HIV risk. Standard HIV Tests require you to wait at least 28 days following exposure, which for many can lead to a stressful wait for answers. The PCR HIV test allows you to gain accurate results just 10 days following your exposure ensuring you can get diagnosis and treatment at an earlier date.

What to expect

Simple, discreet testing - your way

Choose the option that suits you best. We'll show you exactly what happens at each step, from booking to results.

  1. Book your clinic and time

    Choose from 100+ clinics. When you pick one, you will see whether it collects your urine sample on site or sends you a kit to bring with you.

  2. If needed, collect your sample at home first

    Some clinics do not collect urine on site. For those, we post an unlabelled collection kit to your home or a Post Office of your choosing. Book at least 4 days ahead so it arrives, then follow the instructions and bring it with you.

  3. Visit the clinic

    Our clinics are located in discreet, general health settings, so no one will know why you are there. Depending on the clinic, you may need to bring your test kit and/or a valid ID — we'll let you know in advance if either is required. A trained nurse or doctor will collect the samples needed for your test, which may include blood, urine or a swab.

  4. Get your results

    We take care of everything from here. Your results are added to your secure online portal as soon as they are reported by the laboratory. If a result is positive, we'll arrange your free private GP consultation so you have clear advice on what to do next.

Results for this test will be available a day after reaching the laboratory. All samples are sent to the laboratory by either Royal Mail 1st Class post or by courier.

This test offers accurate results 10 days after potential exposure to the condition, meaning you don’t have to wait the usual 28 days for most STI blood tests.
