New process
We’ve teamed up with SH:24 to bring you quick and easy at-home testing for STIs. If you live in Dudley, Manchester, Tameside, Trafford, Stockport or Thurrock, the new process for ordering STI tests is through SH:24.
If you don’t have symptoms of an STI you can check if you can order a test by clicking the button below. If eligible, you’ll be invited to create an account on the SH:24 website to order a test.
Make sure you use your correct details to order your test else you may not receive your results or we may have to ask for ID.
Please note: You can only order one test every three months so make sure you return your kit and that it’s been at least two weeks since sex without a condom to make sure it’s an accurate result. If you need tests more frequently, you can visit your local sexual health clinic.
Not eligible? Find out where you can order an STI test.
Order an STI home test through the SH:24 website by creating an account and answering some questions.
Receive your testing kit in the post and complete it.
Return your test in the post as soon as possible after completing it.
Within a few days you’ll get a text from SH:24 letting you know that your results are available to view in your account.
Both testing and treatment are free for eligible clients. Please be aware that SH:24 may need to speak to you about your test order or results. For information about how they use your data, please read their privacy policy.
If you’re experiencing any symptoms or have been told that a sexual partner is positive for an STI, it’s important to seek professional medical advice. Don’t wait for an online test. Contact your local Brook service, another sexual health clinic or your doctor for support.
A window period is the time between when someone is infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and when a test can accurately detect it. During this period, the body hasn’t produced enough antibodies or antigens for the test to pick up.
Here’s a breakdown of the estimated window periods for the STIs included in Brook at-home tests:
If you’re not sure when to test, consult a healthcare provider. They can advise you on the best time to get tested based on the specific STIs you’re worried about and your individual circumstances.
