    • Hepatitis B and C: Viral infections that affect the liver and can lead to chronic liver disease and other serious complications.
    • Human Papillomavirus (HPV): In certain cases, testing for high-risk strains that can lead to cervical cancer is included.

  • Testing Methods:

    • Blood Tests: Used to detect infections such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis by looking for specific antibodies or antigens.
    • Urine Tests: Commonly used for chlamydia and gonorrhea screening.
    • Genital Swabs: Collected to test for herpes and other infections directly from the affected area.

  • Importance of Screening:
    Many STIs are asymptomatic, making regular screening crucial for early detection, treatment, and reducing the risk of transmission to partners.

  • Who Should Get Tested:
    Individuals who are sexually active, especially those with multiple partners or those who engage in unprotected sex, should consider regular testing.

  • Next Steps:
    If results indicate a positive infection, healthcare providers will discuss treatment options and may recommend additional testing.

The Comprehensive STD Panel Test is a vital component of proactive sexual health management, allowing individuals to stay informed and maintain their well-being.

Why would I need a Comprehensive STD Panel Test?
The Comprehensive STD Panel Test is recommended for several reasons: Routine screening: For sexually active individuals, especially those with multiple partners or those who engage in unprotected sex. Symptom evaluation: If you experience symptoms such as sores, discharge, itching, pain during urination, or flu-like symptoms. Partner exposure: If you or your partner have tested positive for an STD or if you suspect exposure to an STD. Pregnancy: To ensure the health of both the pregnant individual and the baby, as certain infections can be transmitted during childbirth. Monitoring existing infections: If you have previously tested positive for an STD, this test can help monitor your health and the effectiveness of treatment.
How do I prepare for the Comprehensive STD Panel Test?
Avoid sexual activity for 24 hours before the test to minimize interference with test results.
What is the difference between the Comprehensive STD Panel Test and the STD Viral 7 Panel Test
The STD Viral 7 Panel Test is narrower in scope, focusing solely on detecting viral STDs. The Comprehensive STD Panel Test provides a broader, more inclusive screening, covering viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections to offer a full assessment of sexual health.
