How do home test kits work?
You request the test kit through our website and we will send you everything you need to safely collect a sample. The sample is sent to our laboratory for analysis using the FREE return postage provided in the original package.
Typically, the test will require a urine or blood sample or a genital or oral swab. However, unique instructions for your specific test will be enclosed in your package. The test kit will include everything you need for collecting the sample with detailed instructions and visuals to do it properly. After taking and securing the sample, you’ll place it inside the return packaging that was included with the test kit and mail it to our NHS-accredited partner lab.

How reliable are home test kits?
STI kits by design are highly accurate. If you follow the instructions provided in the test kit and immediately ship the sample to the lab, your result will be as accurate as if the test was done by a medical professional at your local health centre or a GUM clinic
When will I get my results?
Depending on which test you choose, we’ll email to let you know when the test results are ready and if any further action is required to seek treatment or not, usually within 3-7 days.
Symptoms
What are the symptoms of these STIs?
Treatment
What should I do if I test positive?
We offer prescription antibiotics for chlamydia and genital herpes. We no longer offer treatment for gonorrhoea due to antibiotic resistance issues and you need an injection administered by a health professional. You can order effective STI treatments discreetly from Dr Felix and have them delivered to you in plain packaging, just like the test kits. The treatments are prescribed by our doctors who also work for the NHS and your medicine will be dispatched from our NHS community pharmacy.
If you test positive for any other STI, you should contact your GP as soon as possible to talk about the next steps, including an in-clinic confirmation test (to rule out a false positive) and treatment. Alternatively, if this is not an option, you can get treatment from Dr Felix to avoid any complications.
Also consider that it’s your responsibility to contact all previous sexual partners since your last negative STI test and inform them that you’ve tested positive an STI.
Q&A
How are the tests packaged?
All test kits are shipped in a neutral, plain packaging that is discreet and confidential. Nobody other than yourself will be able to tell what’s inside.
Quick and discreet
I ordered Azithromycin tablets for chlamydia treatment, received it next day in a brown discreet pack, and cheaper than all other pharmacies, can't ask for more
