  • HIV I/II and the p24 antigen
  • Chlamydia
  • Gonorrhoea

Which samples are needed?

The Instant Six Screen uses simple blood and swab samples to detect infection. The blood can be taken by finger prick lancet and tests for HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. The swabs are used to look for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. The swabs may be uncomfortable but are not considered painful.
