How does the testing process work?

If you are getting tested in the Carlisle area, Better2Know offers our Everywhere service.

Our Everywhere service sends a private nurse to your location. This location can be a house, office, or hotel - anywhere safe where your nurse can wash their hands.

All our STI screens can be delivered with the Everywhere service. You also have the option of getting one of our Health and Wellness screens, allowing you to explore other areas of your health.

When your nurse arrives at your chosen location, they will take any blood, urine, or swab samples necessary for your test. They will send your samples to our accredited laboratory for analysis. Once your samples have been analysed, we will upload your results to your Patient Area. If you prefer, we will also notify you of your results via text message, email, or telephone call.

If you have any questions about the testing process, call our 24/7 helpline to speak with a helpful member of our Patient Services team.

What do I do if I test positive?

We understand that testing positive for an STI can be stressful for many people. But testing positive means you can take action to secure your sexual health. We can help you to get the advice and medication you need in Carlisle.

If you test positive, we will make you a private consultation with a Better2Know doctor. Your doctor will provide you with medication that will clear your infection. They can also provide advice and guidance about how you can best protect your health going forward. All of this is included in the price of your screen.

In the unlikely event that you test positive for an infection like HIV and Hepatitis B, you will need specialist care. Your Better2Know doctor will refer you to a professional who can help.

If you have any other questions about what it means to test positive, get in touch with our Patient Services team by calling our 24/7 Carlisle helpline.
