Want to Get Tested but Unsure What’s Involved?
If you want peace of mind about your sexual health, but feel anxious or unsure about what’s involved, you’re not alone. Many patients worry about the accuracy, privacy, and process of taking an at-home STI test for MSM (men who have sex with men).
How Do You Collect Samples?
- Blood Collection (TDL Tiny kit): Simple finger-prick test to collect a small blood sample for HIV and syphilis screening. All instructions included — takes just a few minutes.
- Urine Sample: Urinate into the sample tube provided. This checks for chlamydia and gonorrhoea in your urinary tract.
- Throat & Rectal Swabs (Aptima multisite): Gently swab your throat and then your rectum using the special sterile swabs. These check for infections that don’t always show up elsewhere.
How Long Until I Get My Results?
All samples are posted back in pre-paid envelopes to our UK partner laboratory. You receive confidential digital results in just 2 days from receipt.
Is It Discreet and Private?
Absolutely. The kit arrives in plain packaging and all information is kept confidential. You don’t have to visit a clinic unless you want to.
What If I Test Positive?
If your results indicate an infection, Mayfield Clinic can help, whether you need treatment, a follow-up test, or specialist referral. We’re here for your health and peace of mind.
