What is the Wellbeing Screen?
The Better2Know Wellbeing Screen comprises private and confidential testing for three sexually transmitted infections. These include HIV, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. This screen is suitable for those who have achieved a minimum period of 28 days, or four weeks, of incubation. The incubation period is the length of time between the incident you are concerned about and getting tested.
Which STIs are tested for?
Our Wellbeing Screen looks for:
- HIV I/II & the p24 antigen
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhoea
Which samples are needed?
The Better2Know Wellbeing Screen requires blood and urine samples only. The blood sample is used to detect both types of HIV as well as the p24 antigen, while the urine sample is used to identify Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea infections. There are no uncomfortable swabs or fasting requirements associated with this test.
How do I get my results?
With the Better2Know Wellbeing Screen, your results will be returned one to two working days from the receipt of your samples at our CPA accredited laboratory. You can check the progress of your results online by logging into the secure patient area of our website. You will also be contacted by a member of Better2Know’s sexual health advisory team once all your results become available.
What if I test positive?
Do not worry; Better2Know will help you. If your results show a Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea infection, we will arrange a private consultation with a Better2Know doctor who will discuss your diagnosis and a prescription for the medication you require.
If your HIV test is reactive, we will help you with the next stages of your treatment. This may involve referral to a specialist, who will provide you with ongoing support and access to medication as required.
You can, of course, take your results to your own GP or healthcare provider.
