Rapid tests

Rapid tests are quick to take and you’ll get a result in under 20 minutes. These are all similar to the at-home Covid-19 tests you are most likely familiar with.

Depending on what you’re testing for, the sample could be a finger prick of blood, a stool or a semen sample. In-pack and online instructions can help you collect your sample quickly and easily.
