Sexual Health Blood Test

The Sexual Health Blood Test provided by The Doctors Practice focuses on a single STI biomarker, as indicated by the biomarker count of one. A venous blood sample is taken and sent to the laboratory where a specific assay detects the presence of the targeted infection. Results are typically available within 3‑5 business days and are delivered in a concise written report, followed by a brief tele‑consultation to explain the findings. This test is appropriate for individuals who prefer a blood‑only approach to STI screening, perhaps due to personal comfort or logistical reasons. No fasting or special preparation is needed beyond standard blood draw procedures. Priced at £190, the test is listed under the STI screening category and is distinct from broader panels that include urine samples.
