Better2Know screens are designed by a panel of sexual health experts and will test for a variety of bacterial and/or viral sexually transmitted infections. Our Fast Six Screen, for example, will test for HIV 1 and 2, the p24 antigen, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Your results will be delivered on the same day your samples are received by our certified testing laboratory.

Better2Know also offers a program of individual STI tests including Trichomonas, Ureaplasma, Syphilis and Gardnerella. These individual STI tests can be booked singularly or in any combination if you would like to design your own bespoke screening package.

Better2Know Everywhere Appointments

As we understand that attending a clinic is not feasible for every patient, our Everywhere service ensures that our award-winning STI tests and screens are accessible to everyone. We also provide out-of-hours and weekend appointments to ensure that you always have access to STI testing services whenever and wherever you need them.

A private nurse can visit you in Sunderland on a day, time and at a location that is most convenient for you. Whether you would like to be visited at your place of work, home or other suitable location, we simply request that the environment is safe, clean and has easy access to hand washing facilities.

What do I do if I test positive?

It is ok if you test positive for one or more STIs, it is nothing to worry about. Our Better2Know doctors and nurses will be able to talk you through next steps and help you access the right medication. Our 24/7 patient services team can help you notify any recent sexual partners through our Anonymous Partner Notification system, and they can organise any further appointments or counselling as necessary.

I am worried about my general health

General health concerns are something that most people go through at one stage or another which is completely normal. If something has happened or you have had a recent illness, a health and wellness test or screen can help you to understand your symptoms and give you answers as to why you are feeling the way you are. 

A health and wellness test can also give you up to date markers for your health in relation to your lifestyle. No matter your reasons for wanting an overview of your personal health and wellbeing, the Better2Know Health and Wellness tests and screens can provide you with answers and help you to improve your general health.
