The Express Sexual Health Screen (rapid) is a quick blood test that checks for a single sexually transmitted infection marker, providing results faster than standard panels.

This rapid screen is intended for individuals who need a fast check after a potential exposure.
About this treatment
The Express Sexual Health Screen (rapid) offered by The Doctors Practice is a streamlined blood test focused on detecting a single STI marker, as indicated by the test’s biomarker count of one. A small venous blood sample is collected and processed using a rapid assay that can deliver results within 48 hours, allowing you to act promptly if an infection is identified. The service includes a brief written report summarizing the result and a follow‑up phone call to discuss next steps. This test is suitable for anyone who has had a recent potential exposure and prefers a fast turnaround without the need for a full STI panel. No special preparation is required beyond standard blood draw protocols. The price of £190 is listed under the STI screening category and is separate from broader sexual health panels.
