Pay at reception (cash, card, EFT or Payflex interest-free instalments). Results arrive via email in 2 – 7 working days.
Urgent results available. Antibody tests (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, herpes): under 24 hours at no extra charge. PCR tests: from 48 hours for an additional fee. Ask at reception.
