Previous syphilis infection
Our home test kits can’t tell the difference between new and treated syphilis infections. If you’ve had syphilis previously we will contact you to discuss this as you will need to attend clinic for the test. You can still do all your other tests (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV) at home as usual
Can I use this service if I’m HIV positive?
All of our home testing kits include a blood test for HIV. If we know you are HIV positive we will not perform this test as it will always come back with a positive result. You can still do all your other tests (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis) at home as usual
