Details about Sexual Health Serology only without HIV
What is the Sexual Health Serology Profile (without HIV)?
The Sexual Health Serology Profile (without HIV) is a blood test screening package designed to detect selected sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections excluding HIV. It focuses on infections that may be asymptomatic but can cause long-term health complications if untreated.
This profile uses antibody and antigen testing to identify current or past infection, even when symptoms are mild or absent. It is suitable for routine screening, reassurance testing, or follow-up after potential exposure.
Why do I need a Sexual Health Serology test (without HIV)?
Many sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections can remain silent for months or years, yet still be transmissible or cause organ damage. Testing allows early detection, treatment, and prevention of onward transmission.
This profile is ideal for individuals who want sexual health screening without HIV testing, for personal, medical, or practical reasons.
You may benefit from this test if you:
- Have had unprotected sexual contact
- Are starting a new relationship
- Have a partner diagnosed with an STI
- Require screening for medical, occupational, or insurance purposes
- Want discreet, private testing
- Prefer testing that excludes HIV

Follow these guidelines for accurate results
Sample Timing
Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting & Hydration
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Medications & Supplements
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
