Popular STD tests

The most popular STD tests and screens at Better2Know change regularly, however the top five choices remain pretty consistent, they are:

1. HIV Test
2. Full STD/ STI Screen for HIV, Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, Hepatitis B, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma
3. Comfort Screen a urine only test for: Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, Herpes (Current Infection), Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Trichomonas and Gardnerella
4. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea
5. Herpes

This shows the popularity of tests which are not available on the NHS (mycoplasma, ureaplasma, trichomonas, gardnerella) and also the Herpes blood test which detects the Herpes Virus (types I and II) whether or not you have symptoms (the NHS usually only tests if you have symptoms).  With testing for Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma increasingly common in Europe and the USA, and budgets being stretched in the NHS, more people are taking control and seeking a new way of testing.
