Comfort Screen

Which STIs does the Comfort Screen test for?

With the Better2Know Comfort Screen, the following STIs are tested for:

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhoea

• Herpes I and II (Current Infection)

• Trichomonas

• Mycoplasma

• Ureaplasma

• Gardnerella

PLEASE NOTE: For the Herpes test to be accurate you must be symptomatic (have symptoms) at the time you submit your urine sample.

How does the test work?

This test only needs a urine sample. After you have ordered your test and completed checkout online, we will post a discreet Comfort Screen pack to your home. The postal packaging is plain so no one will know what it is. When you open the pack, you will find a form, a urine collection container, and a return envelope. In addition, we will send you a copy of the sample collection instruction leaflet. The leaflet will give you step-by-step instructions on how to collect your sample. Please follow the instructions on the leaflet carefully.

You then post the sample to our laboratory. As soon as your results are ready you will get an email to let you know, but you can also log on securely and check online if you prefer.

When will my test kit arrive?

If you order your test before 4pm Monday to Friday, we'll post it out to you by first class post the same day. Your Comfort Screen test should arrive the next working day or the day after, depending on where you live.

How long before I get my Comfort Screen results?

The results of your Comfort Screen should be ready within five working days from when your sample arrives at the laboratory.

What happens if I have a positive result?

If you would like us to, Better2Know can arrange an appointment with a doctor so that you can discuss the results of your test and get a prescription for the required medication (there will be a small fee for this). If you prefer, you can choose to take your results to your own GP.

Is testing for STDs or STIs through Better2Know confidential?

Yes. Your results and details are 100% confidential and we will not inform your GP or anyone without your permission.

How long should I wait after an encounter before getting a Comfort Screen?

For the most accurate results, you should wait at least 14 days since any incident you are concerned about before getting a Comfort Screen.
