Private. Fast. Free.

Free, anonymous STI partner notification.

TimeToTest

Because telling someone matters, even when telling them is hard.

  • Adults 18+ only
  • Fixed-message SMS only
  • Operated by TimeToTest CIC

A careful flow for a difficult message.

Each step is deliberately low friction, private, and focused on helping someone get tested.

Select diagnosis.

Choose the infection you've tested positive for. It's never named in the SMS.

Add partner numbers.

No names. No accounts. Just the numbers of people you have a reason to notify.

Send anonymously.

A fixed caring message goes out with a link to NHS testing. You stay anonymous.

The problem we're solving.

67%

92%

of those cite fear of judgment as the reason.

Built so people can act without exposure.

The service exists because anonymity can make partner notification possible when a direct conversation feels impossible.
