JUST BETWEEN US™ OFFERS INDIVIDUAL­S WHO MIGHT FIND IT INCONVENIE­NT OR EMBARRASSI­NG TO ATTEND THEIR GP OR LOCAL SEXUAL HEALTH CLINIC RAPID ACCESS TO A BROAD RANGE OF TESTS FROM THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME

-

Supporting a positive attitude towards sexual health across the UK since 2012, we receive and process over 140,000 STI kit requests each year. Our aim is to minimize the spread of STIs, including HIV, by encouragin­g people to test regularly and to reinforce the importance of safe sex.

Sexually transmitte­d infections are more common than people think and infections don’t always have symptoms. At Just Between Us™, we pride ourselves in offering a discreet, easy to access service with guaranteed privacy and accurate laboratory tests to put minds at ease.

OUR TESTS

Just Between Us™ offers a number of different testing kits, from the more commonly occurring bacterial infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and Mycoplasm Genitalium (MG), to more complex infections such as HIV and Hepatitis.

Our tests are suitable for any gender and can be ordered individual­ly or alongside others, dependent upon an individual’s needs.

At Just Between Us ™ we offer the following test kits Chlamydia Chlamydia & Gonorrhoea HIV Syphilis Hepatitis B& C HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Herpes Simplex 1, Herpes Simplex 2, Trichomoni­asis, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasm urealyticu­m and Chancroid. Our service is user-friendly, quick and most importantl­y, it is completely confidenti­al.

The process allows you to order, provide a sample(s) and receive your results without any embarrassi­ng conversati­ons or appointmen­ts, completely at your convenienc­e and available 24 hours a day.

HOW IT WORKS

The test kits can be ordered at www.jbu-clinic.co.uk and delivered in discreet packaging, unmarked, and anonymous if required; a sample can be provided and returned back to the Just Between Us™ laboratory for testing – all within 48 hours.

The type of sample required differs depending on the test. To be tested for bacterial infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, men must provide a urine sample, while women can choose between a urine sample and a vaginal swab. Blood borne viruses, such as HIV, require a small blood sample that is almost entirely painless.

Just Between Us™ benefits from being part of the Source BioScience group, an internatio­nal provider of state of the art Laboratory Services and Products. Our laboratori­es across the UK, Europe and the USA are at the forefront of diagnostic testing. Samples are tested (the day they are received) in our Nottingham laboratory, using the most up-to-date scientific platforms and working to the highest quality standards possible. Our laboratory and team of scientists maintain all the accreditat­ion required by an NHS testing facility and our tests are as accurate in both sensitivit­y and specificit­y as any clinic-based test.

RESULTS

Notificati­on that results are available online are delivered either by email or text and, in the event of a positive result for an uncomplica­ted bacterial infection, we offer an online pharmacy solution to provide the necessary antibiotic­s, delivered to your door the next day. We also offer counsellin­g and advice. The whole process is completely anonymous, ensuring the privacy and integrity of your informatio­n.

At Just Between Us™ we’ve partnered with the Terrance Higgins Trust so that if we test a sample and it returns a positive result for a blood borne virus, you will be contacted directly regarding advice, confirmato­ry testing, and the availabili­ty of other services local to you. We don’t expect anyone to have to deal with such difficult news without access to first class help and informatio­n, and the Terrance Higgins Trust are the UK’s leading HIV charity.
