Markers

The Advanced MSM1 Screen offers the most thorough biological assessment of your sexual health by combining blood serology with triple-site DNA testing. This profile screens for HIV (1, 2 & p24 Antigen) and Syphilis via a finger-prick sample, alongside an advanced PCR analysis for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea at three anatomical locations: the throat, rectum, and urethra (urine). By swabbing multiple sites, this advanced test identifies "blind spot" infections that a standard urine-only test would clinically miss, providing a complete and definitive status update.
    Description

    This comprehensive STI screen combines blood testing with multisite PCR swabs to check for the most important sexually transmitted infections. It's designed for men who have sex with men (MSM) and others who want thorough screening that includes throat and rectal sites—areas often missed by standard urine-only tests.

    The test screens for HIV and Syphilis through a finger-prick blood sample, plus Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea at three sites: urine (for urethral infection), throat, and rectum. This multisite approach is important because infections at throat and rectal sites often have no symptoms and wouldn't be detected by a standard urine test alone.

    Everything can be collected at home using our self-collection kit. No clinic visit required—just collect your samples in private and post them back to us.

    How It Works

    We'll send you a complete collection kit with everything you need. This test requires three types of sample: a finger-prick blood sample, a urine sample, and self-collected swabs from your throat and rectum.

    Your Kit Includes

    • TDL Tiny finger-prick blood collection device
    • Aptima urine collection container
    • Aptima multisite swabs x 2 (throat and rectal)
    • Step-by-step collection instructions for each sample
    • Sample labels and request form
    • Prepaid return envelope

    Collecting Your Samples

    Blood sample: Use the TDL Tiny device to collect a small finger-prick blood sample. Warm your hands first to encourage blood flow.

    Urine sample: Collect the first part of your urine stream (first-catch urine). Do not urinate for at least 1 hour before collection.

    Throat swab: Swab the back of your throat, including your tonsils if present. Rotate the swab several times.

    Rectal swab: Insert the swab 2–3cm into your rectum and rotate gently for 10–15 seconds.

    Tips for Best Results

    • Read all instructions carefully before starting
    • Label each sample clearly as instructed
    • Post your samples on the same day you collect them
    • Send Monday to Wednesday to avoid weekend postal delays

    Window Periods: Different infections have different window periods—the time between exposure and when the test can detect infection:

    • HIV (4th generation test): 4 weeks after exposure for most accurate results
    • Syphilis: 2–4 weeks after exposure
    • Chlamydia/Gonorrhoea: 2 weeks after exposure

    If you've had very recent potential exposure, consider retesting after the appropriate window period.

    Urine Collection: Collect the first part of your urine stream (first-catch urine). Do not urinate for at least 1 hour before collection.

    Throat and Rectal Swabs: Do not eat, drink, or brush your teeth for 30 minutes before collecting your throat swab. For rectal swabs, do not use lubricants before collection.

    Antibiotics: If you are currently taking antibiotics or have taken them in the past 2 weeks, this may affect your PCR results. Consider testing after completing your course of antibiotics.

    If You Have Symptoms: If you have symptoms such as discharge, sores, pain, or flu-like illness, we recommend visiting your GP or local sexual health clinic for a face-to-face assessment in addition to this test.

    This 4th generation HIV test detects both HIV antibodies (produced by your immune system in response to HIV) and the p24 antigen (a protein that is part of the HIV virus itself). By detecting both, this test can identify HIV infection earlier than antibody-only tests—typically from around 4 weeks after exposure. HIV attacks the immune system and, without treatment, can lead to AIDS. However, with modern antiretroviral treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives. Early detection is crucial for starting treatment and preventing transmission.

    This test detects antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. IgM antibodies indicate recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies indicate past exposure (and remain positive for life, even after treatment). Syphilis is highly infectious and can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including damage to the heart, brain, and other organs. The good news is that syphilis is easily cured with antibiotics when caught early. Syphilis rates have been rising in recent years, particularly among MSM.

    This PCR test detects Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae DNA in your urine sample, identifying urethral infections. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STI in the UK, while gonorrhoea is the second most common. Both can cause discharge and painful urination, but many infections are asymptomatic. Untreated infections can lead to complications including epididymitis in men. Both are easily treated with antibiotics.

    Pharyngeal (throat) infections with chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common following oral sex and are almost always asymptomatic—you won't know you have them without testing. Throat infections can be a source of transmission to partners and won't be detected by urine testing alone. This is why multisite testing is recommended for anyone who has had oral sex.

    Rectal infections with chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common following receptive anal sex. Symptoms may include rectal discharge, discomfort, or bleeding, but many infections are asymptomatic. Rectal infections can be a source of transmission and won't be detected by urine testing. Certain strains of rectal chlamydia can cause lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), a more serious infection requiring longer antibiotic treatment.

    A positive result means the infection was detected. Don't panic—most of these infections are treatable, and the bacterial infections are curable.

    Next Steps

    • Contact your GP or local sexual health clinic to discuss your results
    • Chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis are treated with antibiotics
    • HIV requires specialist care but is very manageable with modern treatment
    • Inform recent sexual partners so they can also be tested
    • Avoid sexual contact until treatment is complete

    HIV Positive Result

    A positive HIV result will require confirmatory testing. You'll be referred to an HIV specialist for further tests and to discuss treatment options. Modern antiretroviral therapy is highly effective—people on treatment can achieve an undetectable viral load, meaning they cannot pass HIV to sexual partners.

    Syphilis Positive Result

    A positive syphilis result may require additional testing (such as RPR) to determine if you have an active infection. Syphilis is easily treated with penicillin or other antibiotics.

    Chlamydia/Gonorrhoea Positive Result

    These bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. It's important to test at all exposure sites, as you may have infection at one site but not others. Your sexual health clinic will advise on the appropriate treatment.

    Who Is This Test For?

    • Men who have sex with men (MSM)
    • Anyone who has had oral or anal sex and wants comprehensive screening
    • People with new or multiple sexual partners
    • Those who have had unprotected sex
    • Anyone whose partner has been diagnosed with an STI
    • People wanting a routine sexual health check with multisite testing
    • Anyone who wants screening beyond standard urine-only tests

    Medical Disclaimer

    This test screens for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea using blood serology and PCR technology. A positive result requires follow-up with a healthcare professional for confirmatory testing (if applicable) and appropriate treatment.

    This test detects infection at the time of sampling. A negative result does not guarantee you are infection-free, particularly if you have had recent exposure within the window period. If you have ongoing symptoms or concerns, please consult your GP or visit a sexual health clinic.

    This test does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have symptoms or concerns about your sexual health, please consult your GP or visit a sexual health clinic.
