Triple Blood Screen

What is the Triple Blood Screen?

This test screens for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Syphilis using a simple finger-prick blood sample. The Triple Blood Screen is designed for those who have already tested for HIV and do not need to repeat it but want to check for other bloodborne infections.

Is This Test Right for You?

If you believe you're at risk for any of these infections, it's essential to get tested. We also strongly recommend adding an HIV test if you haven't been tested recently. Explore our full range of tests that include HIV screening.

What Does the Triple Blood Screen Test For?

• Syphilis - Detects IgG and IgM antibodies, usually detectable within 21 days but can take up to 3 months in rare cases.
• Hepatitis B - Screens for the surface antigen, typically detectable 60-90 days post-exposure.
• Hepatitis C - Uses an antibody test with a detection period of 45-65 days (and beyond).

What If I Test Positive?

A positive result requires confirmation via a venous blood sample. For Syphilis, we can re-test using a small blood sample to determine if it's a past or current infection if you have difficulty accessing a venous confirmation service locally. Treatment for these infections is not available through The STI Clinic - you will need to consult a doctor in person.
