Which STIs does the FAST Four Screen test for?
The Better2Know FAST Four Screen tests for the following STIs:
HIV
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Syphilis
How does the FAST Four Screen work?
The FAST Four Home Screen will detect the same array of infections as the STI Four Screen, but with a much faster turnaround time to get your results. Order your FAST Four Home Test through our website and we will post a discreetly packaged testing kit, first class, to an address of your preference. Inside your kit will be a pathology form, a urine collection pot, three finger prick lancets, a small, gold-topped tube for blood sample collection, wipes, and a free return envelope. We will also send you a detailed instruction leaflet. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully when taking your samples. Then, when you have finished, put the samples into the prepaid envelope and send them directly to our accredited laboratory for swift and efficient analysis.
How accurate is this screen?
As with all our Home Tests and Screens, the pathology and analysis are performed in Better2Know’s fully accredited, UK laboratory. Furthermore, the FAST Four Screen is suitable for patients that have achieved a minimum incubation of 28 days. Hence, the test is most accurate at least four weeks after an incident of concern.
Is my FAST Screen confidential?
Yes, 100% confidential. The personal details you provide to us will remain highly classified, as will your test results. You will not need to use your real name to be tested and we will not discuss any results with your GP, or any other third parties, without prior consent.
When will my test kit arrive?
If you order your FAST Four Screen before 4pm, Monday to Friday, we will send it to you on the same day via first class post. Your discreet pack should arrive within one to two working days.
How will I receive my results?
Your test results will be ready within 24 hours of your sample’s arrival at our central, fully certified laboratory. As soon as all your results become available, Better2Know will contact you via your preference of phone call, SMS or email. You can also access these results at any time by logging into the secure patient area of our website.
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.
How do I order?
