What is the Early Detection Screen?
Better2Know’s Early Detection Screen is designed by medical experts to detect three viral STIs in the earliest stages of infection. Rather than testing for antibodies, this screen tests for the presence of these viruses in your body, allowing you to get test results as soon as possible.
Why should I get an Early Detection Screen?
This screen is ideal for people who are concerned about possible HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C infections and want to get accurate results as soon as they can. This test is for people who have had a high-risk sexual encounter, anyone who needs to know their status as soon as possible, as well as people who have experienced needle stick injuries or who have shared needles for intravenous drug use. Early detection of these viruses is important for getting the appropriate medication and care.
What samples will I need to provide?
The Early Detection Screen only requires a single blood sample. During your clinic appointment, a medical professional will take your sample and send it to our accredited laboratory for analysis.
How will I receive my test results?
Your Early Detection Screen results will be ready after our accredited laboratory analyses your sample. You can retrieve your results at your convenience by logging into your online Patient Area on our website. Additionally, you can be notified of your results via SMS or email.
What should I do if I test positive?
Do not panic if you test positive for any of these infections. Better2Know will help you with the next steps, which may include confirmatory testing or referring you to a specialist practitioner. If you are struggling with a positive diagnosis, our Patient Services team can talk you through your situation and help you devise a positive course of action.
