How do I get a Herpes Prescription Referral?
Many customers across the UK have told us they struggle to get a prescription after testing positive. They often have to visit a doctor or NHS sexual health centre, which can be time-consuming, costly, and sometimes requires paying private STD doctor fees.
To fix this problem, we at Medicines By Mailbox became the first UK diagnostic lab to offer a prescription referral service bundled with our products.
Bundle in at the time of Purchase at the price of £30
- We offer you the option to select the package when you place your order, and this is a special bundle price.
- You have to select the prescription bundle at checkout.
- You may complete the same day VIP sexually transmitted diseases purchase also, and if you get a positive result, and if the particular product provides, you can directly fill out the referral questionnaire from the doctor.
- If your Herpes result is positive, your referral is automatically sent to our doctor for review. If the doctor has any questions, they will contact you by email or phone. Once approved, your original signed prescription will be mailed to you with next-day delivery, so you can take it to your nearest pharmacy.
How long does it take?
The total time taken is up to 1 (one) day from getting the positive test result to emailing you your Digital Prescription.
We also recommend that, when you choose the bundle, you always select the special price ‘In case of receiving a positive result’. This is because the bundle option is an offer, and a regular prescription will cost you twice as much. The value of which is non-refundable.
The price for a non-bundled product is £60.
One has to wait for a positive result, then visit the website page, and make further payments for a consultation and prescription, which will be similar, that is, 60 pounds. The steps will be as follows:
- Buy the referral prescription along with the product on the website.
- For tracking purposes, provide the order number for the positive result.
- After the purchase is complete, fill out the questionnaire.
- When the referral returns a positive result, it is automatically transferred to the doctor. Contact will be via email or cell if the doctor has any questions for you.
- Once approved, your prescription will be sent to your nearest pharmacy for collection within a day or so.
The whole process usually takes about one day.
Prescription services do not apply to HPV, HIV and Syphilis products.

Accuracy
It is actually the combination of two things sensitivity and specificity variables which define accuracy of any specific diagnostic test. Sensitivity is the test ability to confirm a positive result, while specific city is its ability where it eliminatesall negative results. Up to an accuracy of as much as 98.5% is taken into consideration by us to validate all our test.
Variables
The accuracy that this test result provides is highly dependent on several factors that cannot be controlled by our lab.Infection intensity, patient health, and quality of the sample which is dependent on the adherence to “home testing” procedures can all be factors that limit the results of the exam. At all times though we make sure that our tests are extremely sensitive but, limitations such as a swab that is of poor quality will make it harder for the method to detect the presence of infection, because in this case only a few viral particles will be present. Given the same, we request that you very carefully read our information sheet that is provided to you with your sample collection kit to ensure a very high-quality sample.
Detection
The Herpes PCR method detection test can detect the presence of Human Papillomavirus with great accuracy. Also, if your result is positive it will also clearly diagnose the specific type i.e., either if it is Type I or Type II.This is able to do so by using the PCR amplifying method and subsequently detecting the presence of pathogen in the sample.
Positive result
A test result is said to be positive when a particular sample is found to be infested with the presence of viral particles, in which case you must contact your healthcare provider for further treatment. We also provide a prescription through our website. It is also possible that it does not present any symptoms of the disease, but that does not mean that you can’t be infectious to other persons.
Negative result
While a negative result is always reassuring, we advise that it is also critical to understand its significance, meaning that the method did not detect the presence of infection only for the time of testing. However, your result should always be thoroughly discussed with the healthcare provider, while properly assessing and considering your lifestyle sexual history. We also recommend that in cases where you are in contact with the person who has tested positive for the disease previously or starts to present symptoms, consistent with the disease, you should always contact your GP.
