Before you start
There are a few things to consider before you order your test to make sure using this home testing service is right for you. If you are ordering from us for the first time you will need to set up an online account. You can also and read about how ordering a test works.
When should I test?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) take different amounts of time to show up on a test. Make sure you are testing out of the window period.
Who should test?
Order a test if you want a regular checkup and don’t have any symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection.
You cannot order a test for someone else. We are a free and confidential NHS service, all patient records must be kept separate. Use your details when registering so we can contact you with your results. We cannot send your results to someone else’s number or email.
