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.

FAQs

The questions we hear most about this test, answered plainly.

This test is designed for anyone who is exhibiting a lesion following sex. Lesions may be evident as a result of contact with herpes or syphilis and both look very similar. It will help diagnose the correct condition so that it can be treated in an effective manner.

This test is carried out using a swab on a symptomatic lesion that has not yet healed.

This test has a 4 hour turnaround time once it is received by the laboratory.

Unlike our other tests, the Syphilis & Herpes Lesion Test is accurate from when symptoms show after at least 14 days. It’s important that you get tested whilst symptoms are still fresh to receive the most accurate results. If you’ve had symptomatic lesions that have now healed, contact our customer services team to find the most appropriate tests to take instead.
