What does a reactive result mean?

Answer

If you get a reactive result for one of our blood tests, it means that the test has reacted to something in your blood. This means that there’s a possibility that you have an STI, but at least one further test is needed. This should be done by a sexual health clinic.

If your result is reactive, we will signpost you to local sexual health services where you can get a test and receive full support and advice if your follow-up test is also positive.
