STD Testing: Frequently Asked Questions

We know that you will have questions about your STD test.  We like hearing from you, here are the answers to some frequent ones:

Q. Can my partner and I get tested together?

A. Yes you can, we can arrange a joint consultation for you and your partner.

Q. I need to be discreet, how can I get a test?

A. We do not need your real name for your booking, but it is a good idea to have something for the doctor to call you, everyone will know that Michael Mouses is not your real name when you are called!  All our clinics are private, so that you can have any reason you like for being there: sports injury, mole consultation, upset tummy. You can also pay us by cash into any Barclay’s Bank (see our terms and conditions) if you do not want to pay by card.  We do not show up on your statement as Better2Know –  call us to find what we do show up as, we do not want to write it here in case someone is searching the Internet for it!

Q. Will my doctor find out?

A. Not from us.  It is up to you if you want to tell them.

Q. Do I have to declare this on my life insurance?

A. No.

Q. I can’t get to a clinic, can you come to me?

A. If you live inside the M25 then for an extra charge a nurse can come to your home or office.  They will not obviously be a Better2Know nurse, so you can just say you are having a blood test for anything you like.  Our Wimpole Street has a more flexible facility, where they only need an approximate time for your appointment, you won’t see a doctor there, but you can see one when you get your results if you like.
