Well from my experience this is what i learned.

When i attented a THT clinic in Birmingham they said they would run an Abbots rapid test which takes 15 mins for a result. But the professional was misinformed and it was actually an INSTI test that has just come into place. the health care professionals that attend the clinic are from the NHS, most likely the GUM clinic. I know this because it says so on thier website and I had a follow up appointment at the Birmngham GUM clinic where I saw the same professional who did my rapid testing at THT. I asked them at the GUM clinic what test they ran and they said they had just introduced the INSTI test which gives results in one min.

My advice would be to ring the clinic in Leeds and ask them who is responsible for the tests, if they say it is the GUM clinic of Leeds, then ring them and they should know.

Hope it helps
