Instant HIV

Who is this test for?

This test is for anyone who believes they have come into contact with someone who has HIV. It can give you the answers you need in just 20 minutes.

How is the test carried out?

The test is carried out using blood samples that are collected by a clinician at the clinic location of your choosing.

Turnaround Time

This test gains accurate results against HIV in under 30 minutes. In the event of a positive test for HIV it will be taken to our laboratory for confirmatory viral load testing free of charge.

When can I take this test?

This test offers accurate results from 28 days after exposure. If you believe there is a possibility that you came into contact more recently, our early detection screens may be more useful. Contact our customer services team to find out more.

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 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. Once your results are known you will be notified by the clinician.
