Overview Indications Lab Tests Process Pricing FAQ

What Is Self-Referral Lab Testing?

Self-referral lab testing, sometimes called direct-access testing, allows you to request specific health tests without first seeing a GP. There’s no mandatory consultation before your sample is collected. You decide what you want tested, and the process begins from there.

This approach suits people who already know what they need, whether that’s a repeat STI screen, a routine hormone check, or a general blood panel they have had done before. It’s also well suited to those who prefer to manage their health privately, without an additional layer of appointments. That said, certain tests or results will still require a doctor’s involvement, either for accurate interpretation or where clinical oversight is part of responsible practice.

Who Is This For?

Self-referral testing is designed around access. If you want a specific lab test done without the added step of a consultation, this is for you.

It’s particularly suited to:

People due for routine or repeat health screening who already know what tests they need
Sexually active individuals wanting discreet STI or HIV checks
Men tracking hormone markers such as testosterone or other metabolic indicators
Anyone who wants fast, walk-in testing without booking a consultation first

Lab Tests You Can Access Without a Consultation

You don’t need a prior appointment or consultation to access the following tests at TAF Clinic. Come in, choose what you need, and your sample will be collected the same visit.

🧪

STI/STD Panels

STD screening in Singapore are commonly used to test sexually transmitted infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, and hepatitis B and C, among others. Panel options vary depending on your screening needs.

🩺

HIV Testing

HIV rapid tests in Singapore, with results, are available within the same visit. The type of test recommended will depend on your exposure window.

♂

Hormone Tests

Blood tests to assess testosterone levels and other hormonal markers relevant to male health, energy, libido, and overall wellbeing.

🩸

Full Blood Count (FBC)

Evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets; useful for detecting anaemia, infection, or other general health concerns.

❤️

Lipids and Cholesterol

Measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk.

🍬

Glucose and Diabetes Markers

Includes fasting glucose and HbA1c, used to screen for or monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes.

🫀

Liver Function Tests

Assesses liver enzyme levels and overall liver health.

💧

Kidney Function Tests

🦋

Thyroid Function

☀️

Vitamin Levels

Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 are among the markers that can be checked, both of which play a role in energy, mood, and immune function.

Direct-access testing gives you control over your screening, but some results require more than a printout. Certain findings, including abnormal values, positive HIV results, or tests that connect to prescription treatment, will need to be reviewed with a doctor before next steps can be taken.

This is standard practice in Singapore and reflects responsible clinical care rather than an added barrier. At TAF Clinic, Dr Taufiq is available on-site when your results call for it. If a consultation is needed following your test, the team will arrange this for you. You won’t be left to interpret a significant result on your own.
