With an easy-to-use home test kit, you can find out if you have HIV or Syphilis. Your test kit will be delivered in discrete packaging, and your results will be kept completely confidential. It’s a good idea to get tested on a regular basis, especially if you have a new sexual partner.

How does this test work?

A blood sample will be required to test for HIV and syphilis. This procedure entails pricking your finger with a lancet and collecting blood in a small sample pot. The majority of people do not find it painful. After collecting your sample, you return it to our in-house lab in the pre-paid box. Your results will be emailed to you within 1-3 days of your sample arriving at our lab.

Why did you choose this STI test?

If you are sexually active, regular STI testing is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health and the health of your partner (s). Because many people with a STI do not exhibit any symptoms, it is possible to have a STI without being aware of it. Our at-home STI tests are simple to perform at a time and location that is convenient for you. However, if you have any symptoms or a partner has tested positive for one or more STIs, you should get tested as soon as possible at a sexual health service.

Take the test at the appropriate time.

Testing is the only way to find out if you have HIV or syphilis. Depending on your risk, we recommend getting tested every 3-12 months. You should also test if you have a new sexual partner or if you want to stop using condoms with an existing partner.

​

We recommend deferring until:

• 8 weeks after last exposure to HIV
• 3 months after last exposure to syphilis

You can still perform a test now, but if it is negative, you may need to repeat it later.

Obtaining your results

Typically, test results are available within three working days of your sample arriving at our in-house laboratory. When your results are ready, you will be notified via text and email. To access your results, log in with the credentials you received via email. Please contact us if you have not received your results within seven days of submitting your sample.

If you have a reactive (positive) HIV or syphilis test result, you should see a sexual health clinic as soon as possible.

We will direct you to local services where you can receive any necessary treatment, assistance, or advice.
