Who is this test for?

The Essential Profile is ideal for anyone who wants peace of mind testing following a one night stand but doesn’t want to wait the full 28 days that many of our other tests require. It requires you to diagnose the three most common STDs from 14 days following exposure.

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.

The test is carried out using a blood sample and a standard urine sample. When you arrive at your appointment medical staff will offer you advice on how to take your urine sample, before taking your blood sample. You will be guided through each step by one of our friendly nurse practitioners.

This test has a two day turnaround time for you to receive your results after it is received by the laboratory.

This test offers accurate results from 14 days following potential exposure. If you take this test before this period has passed there is a high probability it will not be accurate.
