Who is this test for?

This test is designed for anyone who believes they’ve come into contact with the herpes simplex virus and wants to get checked. You may have exhibit cold sores, either on your face or around your genitals and want to properly identify the cause.

How is the test carried out?

The test is carried out using a blood sample which will be taken at our clinic location by one of our partner nurses. They will then undergo the testing process and gain your results whilst you wait, in under 30 minutes.

Turnaround Time

This test takes 30 minutes to gain accurate results, however a confirmatory sample is also taken and sent to our laboratory for a more thorough analysis.

When can I take this test?

Please be advised that this test will only offer the advised level of accuracy 14 days after potential exposure. If you believe you came into contact sooner than 14 days then you may wish to contact our customer services team who can discuss your options with you.

Clinic test procedure

As this is an Instant Test, offering results whilst you wait, this test is only available by visiting one of our specially selected clinics. You’ll be assisted by a nurse or doctor in collecting your sample, before they test them using the latest state of the art testing panels.

1. Book your test

To book this test, simply press the ‘Select This Test’ button above. You’ll then be taken to our booking page where you can choose the best clinic for your needs.

2. Arrive at the clinic

Our clinics are all based in a discreet setting and because many of them are general health clinics, there’s no reason why anyone will know that you’re there for a sexual health screening. Just let the receptionist know who you are upon arrival.

3. Your blood sample

This test requires a blood and swab sample for accurate results. The blood sample is a simple finger prick sample which is then dropped on the panels before we add the reagent to it.

4. Now we’ll take care of your results

Once you’ve deposited your samples you’ll be asked to wait in the clinic waiting room whilst the reagent has time to react to your samples. For this test it can be up to 30 minutes. The nurse or doctor will then notify you of your results.
