Over 65? UTIs become more common with age due to immune changes and, in women, reduced oestrogen after menopause. The UTI Package (R1,609 – R1,448 with pensioner discount) identifies the exact cause so treatment targets the right organism. Prefer a walk-in? All home kit tests are also available at our branches in Durban (Hillcrest), Cape Town (Observatory), and Johannesburg (Parktown North). Book a walk-in appointment →
Home Kit FAQs
How do home test kits work?
Order your kit online. It arrives in plain, unmarked packaging with clear instructions. Collect your sample at home (a simple swab for sexual health / BV / UTI, or a stool sample for gut health), seal it in the provided container, and post it back using the prepaid return label. Results are emailed within 5 – 7 working days.
Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. All kits are delivered in plain packaging with no indication of the contents. Your privacy is our priority.
How long do results take?
5 – 7 working days from when the lab receives your sample. You receive two reports via email: a colour-coded report written in plain language, and a standard lab report your doctor will recognise.
Is there a pensioner discount?
Yes. 10% off all home test kits except gut health panels. That brings the UTI Package from R1,609 to R1,448, and the BV Screen from R1,609 to R1,448. Mention your pensioner status when ordering online, or present your ID at any branch for walk-in tests.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Order online, test at home, get results by email. No referral, no appointment, no clinic visit needed. If your results require follow-up, we recommend sharing them with your GP.
