STI Blood Test | Test Explainer

Welcome to one of our Rightangled Test Explainers.

In this video we look in more depth at our STI blood test — why regular sexual health check-ups matter, what the test covers, and the process from ordering through to reviewing your results online.

Many sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms at all, which is why routine testing matters regardless of how you feel. Testing at home can also feel more comfortable than attending a clinic, though free and confidential testing is always available through NHS sexual health services.

Browse our current range of home blood tests. All results are reviewed by our clinical team, which includes GPhC-registered independent prescribers, with medical oversight from our doctor, Dr Abdullah.
