Is this STD test accurate?
This is a blood, swab and urine test and is a very accurate and comprehensive test. The HIV accuracy is over 99.8% if you wait at least the recommended 28 days since any incident you are concerned about.
How does this STD test work?
The Confidence Screen tests blood, urine and swab samples which you collect at home with the kit provided. After you have ordered your test online, we will post a discreet test pack to your home via first-class post. The postal pack is plain so no one will know what it is. Open the pack, and inside you will find a form, finger-prick lancets for blood tests, swabs, and all the equipment you need to take your samples.
The kit also contains wipes and a return envelope. We will also send you a detailed sample collection leaflet, which will give you clear, step-by-step instructions to make it easy for you to collect your samples.
It is important that you follow the instructions on the leaflet very carefully. You then post the samples back in the post-paid envelope provided. You will get an email as soon as your results are ready, but you can also log on and check online whenever you like.
When will my Confidence Screen kit arrive?
If you order your test by 4pm on a weekday (Monday to Friday), we will post it out to you by first class post the same day. Tests normally arrive the next working day or the day after, depending on where you live.
How long before I get my Confidence Screen results?
Typically, the results of your Confidence Screen should be available within five working days from when your samples arrive at the laboratory.
What should I do with my results?
If your results are positive for Syphilis or HIV, you should visit a doctor to discuss confirmation testing and any treatment, or any further testing that should be done. This test cannot distinguish between a past and current or new infection, so you would need to have a confirmation test. Better2Know can connect you with a private doctor in your local area, or you can visit your own GP.
Is testing for STDs with Better2Know confidential?
Yes. Your results and details are 100% confidential and we will not inform your GP or anyone else without your permission.
How long should I wait after an encounter before getting a Confidence Screen?
You should wait at least 28 days after any incident you are concerned about before having a Confidence Screen. If you test before this time, the STD test results may not be as accurate as they can be.
