It is easy to assume you would know if something was wrong. After unprotected sex, a new partner, or a concern you cannot quite put down, the hardest part is often the waiting and second-guessing. Many sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms at all, and even when symptoms do appear they are not reliable for identifying what is going on.

Male Extra Safe STI is a home blood test and urine screen designed for men who have sex with women, covering a broad mix of common and clinically important infections. It checks for bacterial STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, alongside blood-borne viral and antibody markers used to assess infections like HIV 1 & 2, syphilis (IgG & IgM), and hepatitis B and C when risk is higher. This matters because some infections can persist silently, increase the chance of passing infection on, or lead to longer-term complications if left untreated.

Timing affects how useful your result is. Even accurate tests can only detect an infection once it becomes measurable in the body, so testing from home no sooner than four weeks after sex helps ensure results you can act on with confidence. If you have symptoms, have had unprotected sex, have started a new relationship, or have been told a partner has an STI, this home test kit gives you a straightforward way to check, reduce uncertainty, and understand whether you need treatment, repeat testing, or follow-up care.

For critical infections we use highly sensitive laboratory methods, including PCR for detecting tiny amounts of genetic material where appropriate, helping identify infection earlier than many alternatives. If your results suggest you need further confirmation or treatment, you will be guided on the next appropriate steps.
